Pete and Mike grabbing a few last shots after the sun had dipped behind Kinder and the sky took on a lovely afterglow with Dovestone Tor and Cakes of Bread further along the edge. The drone showing off the extent of the heather this year.
Mike posted one of his shots showing off the afterglow today.

As the sun fades behind the horizon, two quiet figures sit beside a lone structure, surrounded by the vast stillness of the evening landscape.
Blackstone Edge
Blackstone Edge reservoir is on the border between Calderdale in West Yorkshire and Rochdale in Greater Manchester. It stands at just over 380 metres above sea level, on very few days of the year does it look as calm as this. There are many occasions when the weather is so bad, the wind blows the water over the wall I’m leaning on and across the road behind me. It is a popular area for walkers, with a choice of several routes around the reservoir and across the moors. Warm clothing and wet weather gear is advisable at most times of year.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
It is amazing to watch these little creatures living on the cliffs so close to the edge . they are extremely social and it is wonderful to watch their interactions with each other . Could never get enough of the puffins !
Wishing you an awesome blessed day !!!
Another in my occasional postings of trees surviving in harsh conditions. This small lodgepole pine has made its home on the rocky edge of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
Happy Tuesday! I hope that all my American friends have voted today -- I just got back from my polling place. And that is all I'm going to say about the election.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Careful near the edge. Far below the Cypress trees on the bluff there are numerous un-tracked beaches and small coves! Spectacular Pacific coast near Davenport California U.S.A.

Sunrise a couple of Fridays ago. Initially, there was a thin layer of mist across the moors looking back to Sheffield. But it built up as the sun rose on the wet landscape.
I don't find this area wasy to find compositions. But my main aim was to capture the heather.
This is another shot of DeSoto Falls in Northeast Alabama. From this spot, the water drops 104 feet. I love this waterfall and the entire area surrounding it.
A resident wader bird sighted through the year in fields, edges of waterbodies and in the countryside. They are one of the larger lapwings and a full adult is around 35 cms long. They are very easy to id and quite distinctive in plumage, color and patten of flight.
We refer to these as "alarm birds" since they scream out loud when we get closer to other birds during photography alerting them often. The birds are also a common prey of raptors since they are easy to target and have a predictable flight pattern. They nest on the ground in the fields and the chicks are often targes of Black Kites, Foxes, dogs and even raptors. But they do breed in large numbers and hence sighting a chick isn't hard.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback.

Another rainbow shot from Monday's interesting sunrise. Taken as the foreground millstone was briefly illuminated.
What's a mama bear to do when she has 3 little spring cubs with her, but yet she needs to go fishing for salmon? In my experience, often they will bring their cubs towards humans, almost as if they're dropping them off for babysitting. See, in the spring or early summer, the boars will follow the sows and they to get their babies away from them, so that they can mate. It's a hard side to nature, but if she loses her cubs, then the odds are stacked more in the boar's favor for mating. By dropping off the "kids" closer to humans, she knows that it's less likely that the aggressive boards will invade that space. To me, it's a Win/Win! Thankfully I've never had to witness that harsh reality of the life of bear cubs (fingers crossed I never do).
While on this break for the sow, you couldn't help but fall in love with these little springers ... and I love how they seemed to be so huddled together for protection. Just love bears and these 3 were over the top on the cuteness scale. <3

one block west of my house is the far edge of town... and the far edge of the world, it often feels like
The deer keep the invasives in check, and the rabbits trim the edges of the lawn. This one was fully aware of my presence and didn't seem that bothered by it. Eastern Cottontail.
Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley, California
Looking over the edge of a dune towards the southeast flank of Tucki Mountain on a partly cloudy morning.
Humberheads Peatlands National Nature Reserve, near Wroot, North Lincolnshire. Whilst the peatlands and pools are a feature of the reserve there is a lot of Silver Birch woodland. I was on my way into the reserve when the edge caught my attention...the striking white bark against the darker background. It's a blue hour photo, I waited for the sun to rise over my shoulder in the hope of more colour but it rose into a cloud. That said I like the cooler colour and abstract nature of the photo.
