Stanage (literally "stone") edge is made of grit stone, which, in addition, to be a very good surface for climbing on (the rough surface is relatively easy to grip onto) was also previously used for making millstones to grind flour and sharpen steel.
This film pack is not expired and has given some interesting imperfections as most Polaroid images do.
Revisited some shots from back in August - what a spectacular and unique evening that was!

Common Blues (Polyommatus icarus) mating on Yellow Rattle at the edge of some big fields of wild flowers at Muston Meadows nature reserve in North East Leicestershire. This pair moved about on the perch and swapped directions a lot, but when they paused they always had their closed wings directly facing the sun. This caused problems for photographer shadow avoidance plus lots of reflection issues to challenge the dynamic range on the m43 sensor.
The female (on the right) is a blue form but I never got to see how extensive her wing markings were as these two stayed tight shut, the blighters.
Despite the vast quantities of wild flowers in the reserve the butterfly count was surprisingly low, and this corner by the footpath exit had the only ones I could see flying.
My last shot for 07_07_07 shows a modern city in the background and an erratic in the foreground. This erratic is part of a long line of glacial erratics stretching from north east of Jasper Alberta to well into Southern Alberta. These erratics indicate the line between the Keewatin flow of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and the Cordilleran Ice sheet. A photograph taken from this spot between 6,000 and 10,00 years ago would have shown a kilometer of ice on the right and Glacial Lake Calgary to the left stretching up the Bow Valley almost to Canmore.

Thankful for someone starting a fire to genenrate some 'mist'.
I must remember this composition if I get back with the heather further along.
Retour dans un coin visité l'année aupparavent, dans la région de Kiruna.
En ce jour une grande majorité du lac est affecté par un blizzard. Nous nous sommes alors rendu au bord de ce blizzard bloqué par les montagnes nous lâchant certaines salves bien costaudes.
La température était de -19°c en ressenti avec un vent allant de 70-80km/h. Le paysage était magnifique sous ce ciel dégagé mais dont le souffle apportait une énorme quantité de neige ce qui rendait la visibilité vraiment très réduite ! Nous avons vécu cette expérience de white out de près et ce sans danger !
Back in a region I really enjoy, where I had already been in 2024, in the Abisko area. On this day, a large part of the lake was hit by a blizzard. We went to the edge of this blizzard, which was blocked by the mountains, sending us some pretty strong bursts. The wind chill was –19°C, with winds reaching 70–80 km/h.
The landscape was gorgeous under the clear sky, but the wind carried huge amounts of snow, which made visibility extremely limited! We experienced this whiteout up close all while staying safely sheltered!
With a wide angle up against the sun I'm asking for trouble. But this view is probably captured over hundred thousand time. Why not do something different? PS, he is standing on an edge 604 meters above the water.
The westr side of the crater lake, with a large flat area. Ôskjuvatn is the caldera after the 1875 eruption, which is only a smaller part of the Askja caldera, to which the flat area belongs.
I am used to waking up to dense low fog in the Bay Area but I did not expect to find fog out in the southwest. For a second morning during our winter trip to the southwest low fog graced the desert landscape after a combination of colder nights and showers combined for prime foggy conditions.
During this last morning before heading home Alan and I were a bit hesitant to get up for a sunrise shoot as visibility was extremely poor. Despite the odds against us we figured we’d give it a shot in hopes of a break in the fog to reveal a potential sky burn. Once we arrived at our scouted sunrise spot we could not see the canyon at all. We waited and waited until suddenly bits of the canyon began coming into view. All of a sudden a gap opened up in the fog and revealed most of the canyon. In that several minute window the sky also burned revealing a rare combination of low fog and high cloud burn. Just after a few frame captures the fog rolled back in and the scene was back to thick pea soup.

A fairly intimidating sight as the ragged jawline of Striding Edge revealed its teeth. In the murky atmosphere of the day with clouds draped over the edge it certainly got the pulse racing!

Rain on Peony Flower.
Continuing my love affair with this plant… this image was taken after a brief shower.
I rather liked the petal shapes here. One of the nice things about peonies is that the petal edges are irregular which can add to the interest and serendipity. The image is about an inch wide I guess, if that.
I decided to process it in a relatively low key fashion, but I couldn’t bring myself to create a B&W version because I just love the colour :)
You can see the sun behind the clouds in the reflection, and if you look very carefully you can see a bubble within the main drop.
Thanks very much for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image!
[Handheld in daylight. Processed in LR; lowered contrast, blacks, shadows and to a lesser extent highlights. Increased clarity to sharpen image, and a touch of vibrance but didn’t adjust saturation (the camera tends to under-saturate which is kind of what I wanted). Dark vignette. Finally sharpened fine and medium detail in Topaz Detail to give it more texture emphasis. Invented a title after a bit of creativity paralysis, dreamt up some words and here we are… lunchtime! :)]
Stable Edge on Christmas Day. Dark clouds clung to the tops of the moors all day, but the dale was bathed in sunlight.
