Out at Higger Tor & Burbage Bridge with Paul (his idea!) to try to photograph the sunrise today..
There was a sunrise at 07:07am but we never saw it!
What we saw was lovely but very cold with a bitter wind blowing up and over the edges, the occasional snow flurry blew in too! Brr..
These are a bit grainy as this was pre dawn light..

A beautiful winter's morning on Higger Tor. What a great place, unfortunately I wasn't the only one to think that on this particular morning - there must have at least 5-6 other tripods within 200m. No pressure to catch the moment then!
A quick visit to Higger Tor, to find that the sky was an impenetrable slab of grey cloud. A good day for mono!
A cracking start to the day with a lung busting climb in the dark up to High Neb the highest point on Stanage, my first shot was taken a good 50 minutes before sunrise as the first light of the day emerged slowly over the landscape (50secs f8 @ 12mm 0.9 reverse ND grad filter)

View from the top of Higger Tor looking down towards the path leading away. Early morning and the sun had just burst through the mist. Liked the contrast of key components - red lit grass, gritstone boulders and the path on an opposite diagonal to the boulders.
Some more from my early morning mist session on Higger Tor a couple of weeks ago. I've managed to pack, move house, and unpack (mostly) in the interim, so there should be some more coming soon!

The subtlest of dawns colours the skies above Higger Tor. Over Owler Tor and Mother Cap Rock rise above the early morning mist cloaking Hathersage.

Heather on Higger Tor, Peak District, UK
I really didn't the light would be good tonight. The forecast looked bad although the clouds were due to clear a little. I got out late, well into the golden hour. Feel so lucky living so close to the Peak District. Higger Tor is very accessible and great when you don't have much time. Just wish I'd got there earlier. All felt a bit rushed.
Another view from Higger Tor, Hope Valley, Derbyshire
(a bit less heavy handed this time on the -ve exposure correction on the sky)
The sodden path showing the imprints of many pairs of feet over Winyard's Nick, Hathersage Moor with Higger Tor on the horizon.
THe path leading down from Higger Tor to Upper Burbage bridge and on the left the outline of Carl wark Fort with the wooded parts of the Burbage valley on the left hand side.
Here we see one of the more spectacular examples of the effects of erosion to be found high above Hathersage on Higger Tor, with the exposed edge of Burbage Rocks in the background. How many thousands of years has it taken for the depression in this boulder to have formed into what we see today?

Low, warm sunlight illuminates the rocks of Burbage Edge, as Burbage Valley and Higger Tor fall into shadow.
I had a run out today to visit the Longshaw Estate and look for Fungi - virtually none to be seen so I just took a shot of Higger tor from where I had parked, the local roads were infested with parked cars and I was lucky to find a space.
