This film pack is not expired and has given some interesting imperfections as most Polaroid images do.
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.
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.
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!
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.

The reservoir stands at the side of Ringstone Edge Moor, named after the ring of megalithic stones which once stood on the moor, sadly not much remains to be seen now, the circle is just about visible but the standing stones have long since toppled over.
It stands at 302 metres (990 feet) above sea level, whenever we walk up here it’s always windy and today was no exception. In the distance you can see to the right Flints Moor, towards the centre of the picture is Great Manshead Hill, just to the left of the tower on the reservoir wall you can just see the dam of Baitings Reservoir.
This area is popular with walkers and bird watchers, who must be hardy souls as the weather up here can be appalling. The area surrounding the reservoir is a conservation area in the care of a Yorkshire Water.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Thankful for someone starting a fire to genenrate some 'mist'.
I must remember this composition if I get back with the heather further along.
With subdued light most of the evening came ten minutes of golden light just before the sun disappeared for the night.

A lovely evening walk along Baslow edge, in the hope of catching some lovely evening light. The heather was in flower, the midges were non existant and nobody got into my shot intentionally... perfection.

My lightweight tripod resting on the heather was not very happy with the strong wind and it was surprisingly chilly for August. Must be freezing up here in winter.
Stable Edge on Christmas Day. Dark clouds clung to the tops of the moors all day, but the dale was bathed in sunlight.
