Some old Beech trees on the National Trust's Longshaw Estate in Derbyshire, lit up by the setting sun. This was taken in mid-November, not long before all the trees were bare. The distinctive outlines of Higger Tor and Carl Wark can be seen in the background.
The scene from below Higger Tor, looking over the Derwent Valley. The last dark clouds were just being chased away by a strong winds and the sun was breaking through as I took this shot.
I took this image from Upper Burbage Bridge whilst heading towards Stanage Edge last Sunday. I'd intended to get to the edge before the sun came up but arrived too late so I pulled over as soon as I saw the light catching the top of Higger Tor and took a few images from the roadside with the lens I had to hand before the moment passed.
Some warm, late light flooding into the Derwent Valley yesterday evening, viewed from Higger Tor, following the passing of some torrential rain.
Higger Tor is a dominant landmark of the Dark Peak, in the north of England's Peak District National Park. It's a gritstone tor overlooking the Burbage Valley and the Iron Age hill fort of Carl Wark to the south east, from where this shot was taken.
Some golden light from the low sun breaking through the mist yesterday morning. This image was taken at Higger Tor, looking south, with the outlines of Carl Wark (left) and Over Owler Tor in the middle distance.

Another posting from an evening on Higger Tor last week, with the distinctive outline of Over Owler Tor and the surrounding high ground silhouetted against a clearing bank of mist in the Derwent Valley beyond. I was particularly struck by the sight of the remnants of the mist swirling around the stands of trees in Longshaw Estate, which can be seen to the left of this scene.

Some lovely light last night. Did a little loop from North to South Burbage then North to Carl Wark (here) then back of Higger Tor. South Yorkshire's fabulous park of the Peak District.
Not sure if Rob has been filling the rock pool with water again.
Higger Tor, Derbyshire. It’s been while since the chance for a early start came along, glad I made the effort.

After the first lockdown this was one of the first places I visited and the litter was pretty awful. Pleasing to see that this time I barely saw anything.
I spent a good couple of hours wandering around the gritstone outcrops, rocky promontories, boulders and bluffs on the plateau.
For a ten minute walk from the parking area this has to be one of the most accessible and rewarding locations in the Peak District and definitely one of my favourites.
