My first shot of the new year, watching the sun welcome in the first morning of 2012, it was a lovely sunrise!
Hoping to view more of your streams this year!
Happy new year to you all!
We also found some gaps to jump across at great personal risk to life and limb..
Bouldering and jumping at Higher Tor!
Was supposed to go and visit with Flickr friend Dave up in North Yorkshire on the bike.. But cancelled due to the weather. Would be no fun on the motorway with alternating low sunshine, strong side winds, torrential rain with some hail chucked in too! So went out for an hour on Navi in the nearby countryside dodging most of the showers.!
Great scenery with the fast moving sky, sunny intervals, the odd rainbow and dark looming clouds..!
Picture taken here looking across Callow Bank towards Higger Tor & Carl Wark..
It was a cold, damp and misty morning on Higger Tor as I was waiting for the sunrise.

It's the 63rd anniversary of the Peak National park today, even Google got in on the act with their doodle..... last minute as usual so I trotted up to Higger, bloody cold despite how it looks, breezy with clouds packing in from the west. Lets hope the holiday weather plays ball!!

I took this shot just before a snow storm on Higger Tor, Peak District, Derbyshire, UK.
Shot with a Nikon D90.
One of the best sunrises I've seen - made better by the snow making it difficult for a lot of people to get here, as would usually be the case on a Saturday morning.

Shelter Rock on Higger Tor, Peak District, UK.
A very cloudy and foggy sunrise. For just a few minutes this was as good as it got.
Padley & Burbage Hike Conclusion:
I panicked when I arrived at the top of Higger Tor. I had given myself plenty of time, an hour to in fact! to find my spot but Higger Tor has so many different shapes, forms and possibilities in its gritstone that my mind started to race and so did my heart rate.
I found several spots I liked and it felt like being a small kid again in a toy store being told you can only choose one. I came to this spot, left, returned, left again, came back, went somewhere else but ultimately, like that kid in the toy store eventually does; I formed my bond with this spot and knew in my hearts of hearts this was the one I wanted.
After all the rushing about (which felt like hours in my mind) I sat down to realise I hadn't cut it quite as fine as I thought (*cough* as usual) leaving me the luxury of forty minutes to relax and enjoy watching the light go from yellow to orange and eventually that afterglow explosion of red and magenta.
I used the last of the afterglow light to take the lazy persons route off the tor and scrambled directly down, enjoying a night hike back along the way I came, through a very spooky Padley Gorge at night.
I opted for a different composition on a recent visit to Higger Tor. There was a virtually cloudless sky which meant that including the sky in the composition was not really an option. Luckily, I arrived at Higger Tor fairly early when there were no people to get in the shot.
Well an early start Saturday morning as I was out doing a photography tuition workshop and a sunrise was part of the plan. We were going to catch the sun rising over Mother Cap on the top of Owler Moor so we had a steady climb up onto the moor and started to set up to capture the pre-dawn light which was nicely starting to build up. It was only then that realisation struck as my student for the day found out he had left his tripod plate in his car outside my house...bugger!!
Luckily I had given us plenty of time as it was 40 minutes before the sun was due to rise so a mad dash ensued to get back off the moor down to my house pick up the plate and get back in time to capture the sunrise, with no chance of getting up to Mother Cap in time we headed to Higger Tor and just managed to set up in time a few moments before the sun rose. A hectic start but luckily we just managed to capture the soft pre-sunrise light coming over Burbage gently illuminating the weathered stones, the previous excitement soon forgotten as we relaxed and enjoyed the start of a new day in the Peak District.(0.3s f8 @ 12mm 0.9 reverse ND grad filter)
