A typical Derbyshire scene i thnk!....... Derwent Valley , November 2020, Peak District,derbyshire, UK
An old structure, part of the Magpie mine ruin. Magpie mine dates from the mid-18th century, a boom time for the lead industry. South of the village of Sheldon, within the Peak District National Park, it was built to exploit the Bole Vein, a rich vein of lead running underneath the Derbyshire countryside.
Ravens are becoming a more common sight on the moors near Sheffield. These two were cronking overhead as I was walking along Derwent Edge. I waited until I could frame them above the Salt Cellar.
The sun is growing weak. Light flees, colour draining
in the half light. The bog waits ahead, to the darkening east.
With the morning sun already sitting lower in the sky, there are some parts around here that won't bask in its rays again until next Spring. However, with luck, the rather splendid house will and the train, catching a relatively open patch as it crosses the busy A6 road, might just be lucky too.
The location is the Derbyshire spa town of Buxton, seen here enjoying some autumnal colour in a shot taken from the elegantly named Victoria Park Road.
The train is the 10.00am Dowlow - Theale Hope Cement (6V20) aggregate, hauled by DB Shed 66175.

Walking along Wolfcote Dale, alongside the River Dove on the border of Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
Bakewell is in the valley of the River Wye in central Derbyshire, England.
Wonderful place to start the new decade.
Looking down on Castleton on the decent from Mam Tor.
Castleton is a village in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England, at the western end of the Hope Valley on the Peakshole Water, a tributary of the River Noe, between the Dark Peak to the north and the White Peak to the south. The population was 642 at the 2011 Census.
Castleton village was mentioned as Pechesers in Domesday Book in 1086 where "Arnbiorn and Hundingr held the land of William Peverel's castle in Castleton". This land and Peverel's castle were amongst the manors belonging to William Peverel that also included Bolsover and Glapwell.
St Edmund's Norman church was restored about 1837. It has late 13th-century tracery and an ashlar-faced Perpendicular tower. Its box pews are dated 1661, 1662, 1663 and 1676.
