Heavy Metal Panda
Pathways of Light
This is a scene from Thorswood Nature Reserve. The reserve is owned/managed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and has stunning and far reaching panoramic views across the rolling Staffordshire Moorland countryside looking out over the Peak National Park, Derbyshire Dales, Weaver Hills and also has a clear view of Rugeley Power Station some 25 miles away in the flatter, south, part of the county (as in this view)
You'd think that having such good views would offer many possibilities for photos yet it's quite difficult because any features are so tiny that you need to zoom in - and then you lose the panorama, otherwise it's just endless, featureless fields. On this day, however, a good opportunity presented it'self because of the features in the sky and snow on the ground - so....click, had to be quick actually before those fabulous rays of light disappeared!
