A panorama of the hills of the Dark Peak, stretching from Win Hill on the left to Fairbrook Naze on Kinder Scout on the right.
Seen from near Stanage End.
Yesterday we went out with cameras into the Peak District as it had forecast to be sunny. We experienced different sorts of weather including snow, hail and sunshine. This is the first time that I have photographed a Red Grouse and it involved a little bit of crawling amongst the heather - so that makes me a real photographer now!
I appreciate any favs or comments as this is still a new hobby for me!
2 shot pano taken on stanage edge in the derbyshire/south yorkshire peak district last year
a poor day for photography with flat light but rewarded with this fine light show after a 12mile hike i have a few more good ones from here to post later on
Work has been very draining over the last few (several, many) weeks so I made an effort yesterday to venture out and remind myself that there is more to life than working and sleeping.

A silent 'waterfall' of mist flowing over Stanage Edge into the Hope Valley. Taken in September 2014.
Olympus OM4 with Zuiko 50mm f1.8 lens on Agfaphoto Precisa CT100 film.
Water flowing uphill with the force of the wind - rather comforting to know the wind was blowing that way otherwise I'd have been over the edge, very blustery weather yesterday. And something else for the hubster to mutter about! Strange what people like/dislike isn't it? I don't mind getting soaked in bad weather or falling into streams but don't like going in the cold sea; he loves swimming yet not getting wet on a hike, especially a windy hike..........

Houston, we have a problem. I very recently bought some new walking shoes, and they are pretty much perfect in every way. Lightweight, breathable, comfortable out of the box. Except... What's that smell? Has a cat got in my car and had a wee whilst I was loading up (my shoes live in the car)? It took a fair few days to realise what it was 😁 I know what you're thinking, and it's not true! Some more reviewing later and other people have noticed it too:
"I have had at least 20 pair of Salomon hiking and trail running shoes over the years. I love everything about them. However, my recent 2 pairs of Gortex trail running shoes started to have an overwhelming cat urine odor. I tried everything to clear the odor and nothing would remove it. They would smell up an entire area. None of my hiking shoes, or any other shoe for that matter, has ever had this issue. It happened both times with these shoes. I did contact Salomon and they apparently haven't had this issue before but if you go on-line, you will see it is an issue with several shoe brands. So love the shoe, but had to throw out two fairly new pair in great condition due to the intense cat urine smell."
"I hiked in a torrential downpour with these shoes. My feet kept dry, however, after I had let them dry, they smelled terrible. I washed them with baking soda, vinegar, Downy Unstoppables, and Tide TWICE, removed the insoles, let them dry in the sunshine and they still smell absolutely horrible. The odour smells like cat urine. On a positive note, the shoes are incredibly comfortable and supportive. I walk approximately 15-25km 5 days per week. Love the gortex option, but I've never experienced such a smell after washing and drying other gortex clothing/articles that I use."
Oh dear... Thanks Cross Hikes 😂
long distance landscapes - taken from the same viewpoint as the Edale valley shot. Stanage trig point stands out against the skyline - I cloned a couple of supermarket delivery vans out of the foreground as they didn't fit in...
Taken just off Ringinlow Road on the approach to Stanage Edge, this photo captures the last warm light of the day as the sun dips beyond the hills. A quiet walk, a golden horizon, and a moment of stillness shared with the land.
Thank you so much for the faves and kind comments. I hope you all have a lovely weekend
Taken earlier this week on one of those evenings of sunshine and showers where the light is ever-changing.
Went to Stanage Edge for sunset last night, and was treated to some superb golden light along the edge. As has been the case recently, I arrived a few minutes too late (must get my timings sorted!) but was still in time to get 4 shots in!
One of my favourite views in the Peak District-Stanage Edge with its millstones, Kinder Scout, Mam Tor, The Great Ridge, Win Hill, the Hope Valley ...oh..and the cement works...oh dear!
It never ceases to amaze me that people think they have climbed a mountain by parking on a roadside near the top and walking a few feet, I guess that's a sign of ageing, a different generation. In my day few had cars and we walked from the nearest village way below out of sight. At least these people are active, some even run the fells. On Sundays the car parks are full if you don't arrive early. I don't like crowds and would normally try to avoid them but on holiday one has to seize the best weather days.
