A view from the southern edge of Higger Tor looking South East towards the hill top fort of Carl Wark. The "Kit Kat" of "Book End" stones catching a little of the late evening light as I waited for a sunset in the Peak District. The green pastures and House you can see in the upper right of the frame is the National Trust "Longshaw Estate".

A murky, misty morning on Higger Tor.

A scattering of rocks and the blooming heather. Pretty much a typical scene in the Peak District at this time of year. It was the way that the 2 rocks seemed to interlock/ overlap that caught my attention.
NOT a long exposure shot, although the sky looks that way
A distinctive view of the grit stone rocky edge looking up from Burbage Valley as you walk south towards Longshaw Estate.

Had an hour up on Higger Tor on Saturday evening.
Was a good sky, but as usual the sun hid behind the clouds on the horizon just at the wrong time!
Under a full moon on top of Higger Tor, as the sun made it's final descent, three young Muslim men stand upon a huge boulder looking towards the moon.
One of them had missed last prayers at the local mosque, so with his footwear removed kneeling in the direction of the Mecca he began his prayers under the light of the moon and the fading sunlight as his two friends looked on.
What a perfect way to end a day. :-)
Higger Tor is a gritstone tor in the Burbage Valley, in the Peak District of England.
It stands in the county of South Yorkshire, about 200 metres (220 yd) from the border with Derbyshire, which runs along the nearest road, approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) east of Hathersage. Higger Tor overlooks the hill fort of Carl Wark to the southeast.

Great conditions before and around dawn yesterday morning, I am still not happy with the composition, thinking more about it the light is coming from the wrong direction at the moment...Back to the drawing board I guess.

The Aurora can be seen through the clouds above Higger Tor. The amount of light pollution from Manchester is staggering. The wind wasn't to strong at the Wooden Pole, but the constant dazzle from car headlights made long exposures difficult, so I moved to Burbage Edge and though the wind was much stronger I was able to watch the best display of the Northern Lights I have ever seen in the UK.
The last stop of my recent shoot. The sun was very low lying and producing some really strong shadow and colour tones.

Higger Tor is a gritstone outcrop overlooking the Burbage valley and the iron age hill fort of Carl Wark. Both of these locations fall within the city limits of Sheffield and are in the Peak District National Park.
A time-lapse video of last night's sunset. It's taken from the Longshaw estate looking towards the Hope Valley and with Kinder Scout in the far background. 570 images captured over approximately one hour have produced this 23 second video. The panning effect was created in-camera.

A cold Higger Tor looking to Carl Wark last Friday before work. I must remember the pre-dawn glow can sometimes be better than when the light hits the landscape.
One of Higgers' tors looking towards Stanage Edge on an almost perfect day for using a polarising filter.
First light at Higger Tor. A lull in the current weather resulted in a perfect morning.

Things didn't look too promising at first for seeing the Summer Solstice Sunrise, with lots of cloud obscuring the horizon. However, shortly after sunrise, just after 5am the sun finally broke through and bathed Carl Wark Hillfort* in beautiful golden light.
This is the view across Hathersage Moor from the path between Winyard's Nick and Over Owler Tor.
* Carl Wark is unlikely to be an Iron Age Hillfort in the usual sense of the term, but is refered to as such on OS maps etc.
