Yesterday was amazing with the clouds flowing over the tops & into the valleys..
Today the clouds lay in the valleys! Beautiful..
We walked from Burbage South via Higger Tor, then Carl Wark, then down & up to Fox House for lunch via the Toad. Then back to Burbage South following the line of the crags..
Taken from below Stanage over Hathersage..
Almost 180 degree stitch of 10 pictures.. Need to view 'Larger'!
Higger Tor, Peak District
It felt like quite a while after the sun had risen when I took this sequence of shots, and I had to keep reminding myself that it was only a day away from the Winter Solstice and the sun rises very slowly this time of year.
I ended up spending a lot longer up here than I had planned and didn't see anyone but a fell runner during that time. It's mornings like this that stay with you for a while.

Clearing Mists at Higger Tor, Peak District, UK.
Well, I found some light at sunrise this morning. It was quite misty when I arrived an hour before sunset. As the sun rose it struggled to illuminate the landscape as it burnt the mist off. My jacket was still damp from getting soaked last night and if if wasn't for the greenery you'd have thought it was Autumn or Winter. Hello to the photographer on the horizon. It was his first sunrise shoot and what a magical place for it.
I think I prefer the square crop. Not sure.

Burbage Valley, Peak District, UK
Looking at the weather this morning it didn't look like it was going to be great for photography. But I headed over to Higger Tor anyway. Martin Levers spotted me and pulled up too. We decided to go for a walk as it it didn't look promising. Higger Tor was busy with photographers. We got to Carl Wark and waited a while. Then the sun rose into a gap in the cloud to produce a wonderful sunrise. it was a surprise as it looked like it would rise into cloud. We shot a quite a few frames until rain made it difficult. I then continued on the Burbage circular walk. By this time the sun had risen enough to light up Burbage rocks and the winter light was wonderful to work with. I continued shooting until nearly 11am in good light. This was an hour and a half after sunrise.
I quite like this shot which includes the popular path along Burbage Valley.
The photograph is taken at Winyards Nick on Hathersage Moor. The southern end of Higger Tor is in the background.
A summers walk over Owler Tor and Surprise View near Hathersage in the Peak District. The heather is in flower at the moment and the Peak moors look superb.
This is taken from the top of Surprise View looking across towards Higger Tor with Stanage to the left.

A ferociously windy sunrise on Higger Tor, watching rain drive across the moor, lashing against the ancient fort of Carl Wark.
Finally, patience paid off and the sun rose just enough to poke it's fingers through the cloud.

Higger Tor seen at sunrise from the ancient Carl Wark Fort, on Hathersage Moor.
The name Carl Wark is thought to derive from 'Carl's Work'. Carl being an old name for the Devil. This in itself could derive from the time when the area fell under the control of the Germanic Angles of Northumbria, following the battle of Win Hill in 626AD. The Northumbrians beat the Mercians by rolling boulders down the hillside.
When the fort was excavated in the 1950's, Stuart Piggott remarked that the construction of the wall and supporting earthen bank was reminiscent of Scottish Dark Age forts.
It is likely that Carl Wark is a multi-period site. Probably first used during the Neolithic period and through pre-history.
Again you can count the people and cars parked by the roadside - not many and a long way apart if you zoom in.
That's the road to Ringinglow and Sheffield climbing alongside.
Another telephoto shot from my exercise walk yesterday.
Been very busy and not had much time for getting out and about over the summer. However, managed to squeeze in a sunrise on Higger Tor this Sunday morning... although the sun didn't seem quite as keen to show up as I was!
The heavy clouds make for a nice, heavy late summer scene however and the diffused light more suitable to black and white.
Higger Tor, Peak District
A combination of snow and frost on Higger Tor yesterday morning, largely clear skies, but with some subtle cloud made it worthwhile posting. Spent a good while up here, so will hopefully have some more shots to share.
Thanks for looking.
The chair-shaped standing stone of Wet Withens. In the background can be seen Higger Tor which the stone appears to mimic in its shape. It is from behind Higger Tor that the midsummer sun rises when seen from the circle.
Another shot I just remembered from my snowy Peak District trip! Looking from Burbage South Edge to Higger Tor.
A 6 shot panoramic from Higger Tor on Sunday morning, over looking the ever changing mists over Millstone Edge and beyond, whilst having a natter to Paul Newcombe.
Not sure a pan looks it's best on here, but the full size version looks pretty good (to me anyway!)
Looks better in Lightbox I reckon.
By this point it was full on snowing, meaning I barely dared take my camera out of the bag! But I had to just to snap a shot from Carl Wark towards Higger Tor

Higger Tor, Peak District, UK
Sunrise this morning looked to be the best opportunity for landscape photography in the Peak District. As sunrise came the light struggled to penetrate the cloud. Luckily the pre-dawn light was much better and worked well with the morning frost. Taken half an hour before sunrise.

A quick dash to Higger Tor on Saturday morning following a forecast for a much less cloudy morning and a frost on the ground! No frost, and mucho cloud put paid to the actual sunrise, but the sun did make an appearance, and this was about 25 mins after sun up. Some lovely light on the far side of Hope Valley. Taken using the 24-105 at 105mm, and a 6 shot stitch. Looks much better at full size.

looking at Carl Walk from Higger Tor in the Peak District, its taken just before the sun goes into the haze on the horizon, and the last of the good light is gone.
View from Over Owler Tor, across Hathersage Moor to Higger Tor. Odd shaped outcrops and remains of prehistoric occupation, litter Hathersage Moor.
A couple of hours in Derbyshire's stunning Peak District. The weather was dry but blustery to say the least and yet the sun kept peeping through the clouds to offer some great light against these beautiful rocks........ On this photo, just to give you some idea of scale, are rock climbers scaling the rock face....... Can you see them.....?
