A welcome spot for a breather on the way up to Ringing Roger and Kinder Scout. An opportunity to capture the pre-dawn colour and mist in Edale Valley.
Slight issue with the farm building too close to the edge of the frame, but worth sharing.
This was quite a scary image to make, as I was stood on a narrow ledge, with practically no room for manoeuvre - just the waves lapping against the rocks several feet below. Ideally, I would liked to have used a slightly wider angle to include more of the foreground and cliffs to the left, but I considered changing lenses at this spot to be a risky business, so I used what I had on the camera. I used a strong ND grad to retain the detail and colour in the sky. It's a flawed image, but one which was made in quite challenging circumstances.
A female American kestrel flies off with a small rodent in her talons, procured from a marsh in Bosque del Apache. Unfortunately I failed to adjust the ISO setting for the lower light, and this action shot has a bit too much action (aka blur).
Grey House Spider (Badumna longinqua)
The House Spider had caught a Robber Fly for its meal. On the Jade Plant
It didn't quite work, I wanted separation between Black Nab and the cliffs behind but keeping the detail.. it's not hdr, just using filters and the late evening sun:-)
Saltwick Bay is one of my favourite local places, it can be magical. The hard rock, left by the receding tide, retains water forming something of a mirror. Black Nab, the pinnacle, is at one end of the bay and Saltwick Nab is shaped almost like a Whale at the far end. A few miles from Whitby, on the North Yorkshire coast. I tried to use the rocks as a double lead, pointing to the setting sun and the Nab.
Saltwick Bay is a north-east facing bay approximately one mile (1.6 km) to the east of Whitby, on the east coast of North Yorkshire, England. The bay contains the Saltwick Nab alum quarries, listed under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. The bay is part of the Saltwick Formation and known for its collections of fossils. The SS Rohilla hospital ship sank in the bay in 1914, and the fishing trawler Admiral Van Tromp was shipwrecked there in 1976.
Pike o' Blisco, Crinkle Crags, Bowfell, Harrison Stickle and Sergeant Man are the skyline fells from left to right. This sheep thought it was in the Lion King! Seen from close to the summit of Nab Scar, the first or last fell on the Fairfield Horseshoe.
Sunset at Black Nab,Saltwick Bay,Whitby.This is a shot I have been looking forward to taking for some time.For a short period of time the sun sets over the sea on the East Coast of England from this point.It also gave me the chance to see the wreckage of the Admiral Von Tromp - which can be seen in the foreground. www.scarboroughsmaritimeheritage.org.uk/aadmiralvontromp.php On the left,can be seen Saltwick Nab,which has the shape of a humpback whale.

Country towns like Jandowae are full of architectural gems no matter where you are in Australia. One type of building with distinctive traits is this abandoned former bank building. As the sign says, this is the former Queensland National Bank/National Bank/National Australia Bank or as we know it, the NAB. It isn't entirely abandoned, still nicely maintained I saw some people come and go.
