River Derwent and our walk back from the Chatsworth House Estate, Derbyshire. The house is just past the weir you can see in the distance...and so are the April showers! The rain is falling quite heavily and we managed to reach the car before it hit!
I was listening to a radio program on the BBC on Saturday about how some native tribes use clouds to guide their way...the same way that we use the sun or the stars. Clouds reflect the landscape from beneath and clouds by any water will reflect that image, coast, large lakes and rivers.

The Derwent Dams were constructed by the Derwent Valley Water Board (now Severn-Trent) to supply fresh clean water to the fast-expanding industrial populations of Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham and Leicester.
The first two massive masonry dams constructed were the Howden and Derwent, between 1902 and 1916. During construction a temporary village, known as Tin Town because of its corrugated iron walls and roofs, housed the 1,000 or so navvies (labourers) and their families.
During the Second World War, the two original Derwent Dams were used for practice flights by 617 Squadron – known as “the Dam Busters”. They were chosen because they closely matched the target dams in the Ruhr Valley in Germany. The Derwent Dams were later used as the backdrop to the 1955 film The Dam Busters.
I couldn't resist a quick visit to this wonderful viewpoint with autumn colours on Derwent Isle and the lovely backdrop of Cat Bells.
'Blue heaven' !

An image from a visit to Derwent Edge on the last day in August. The distinctive tor to the left of the frame is known as the Salt Cellar.
Freezing foggy morning down by Derwent lake captured the sun rising behind me lighting up the Catbells in the distance
