Two fishing vessels lay moored at the Porpoise Bay Warf and sit in shadow. Alternately, the hills are lit with the remnants of the setting sun, blazing in opposition to the dark, while both reflect their position.
I spent a wonderful, but very cold day out in Glencoe. This shot was taken at Rannoch Moor, just at the entrance to Glencoe.
Another image from a visit to Hathersage Moor one morning in late August. The weather didn't seem at all promising, with drizzle and thick cloud. Just before I had to leave the gaps started to appear in the clouds and the sun came out to light up the moorland and bring out the colour in the heather.
Autumn mists over Hathersage Moor seen from Over Owler Tor looking towards Higger Tor, Carl Wark and Stanage Edge.
I came across further fields of Phacelia as I cycled towards the coast, seeing at least half a dozen.
The long pano format is to include the "Alnwick Golf Ball" (ie the early warning radar dome) overlooking the town from the top of Alnwick Moor and also a couple of outlying Cheviot hills on the horizon beyond the colourful oilseed rape & Phacelia fields.

Rannoch Moor (/ˈrænəx/ (listen), Scottish Gaelic: Mòinteach Raineach/Raithneach) is an expanse of around 50 square miles (130 km2) of boggy moorland to the west of Loch Rannoch in Scotland, where it extends from and into westerly Perth and Kinross, northerly Lochaber (in Highland), and the area of Highland Scotland toward its south-west, northern Argyll and Bute. Rannoch Moor is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation.[2] Much of the western part of the moor lies within the Ben Nevis and Glen Coe National Scenic Area,[3] one of 40 such areas in Scotland

Another view of the derelict cottage by Oaking Clough reservoir on the Hallam Moors. Probably built by Sheffield Water Works, (there's a small stone with the letters SWW engraved in it nearby) and shared by water board workers and grouse shooters.
I think all the ducks heading our way thought we had food which we often do but not on this occasion. I always feel guilty when I forget some food but these are all actually well fed - usually from people visiting the Water sports centre across the river...before Covid that is. Now the Water sports centre is closed Colwick Country Park where this photo is shot is the place most people round here use for their daily exercise..
The Albert Bruce and Miss W Lee are tied up along the wharf in Frenchman's Cove, as they anxiously await to hit the open sea again.
Emley Moor transmitter tower at sunset and the temporary tower in front of the setting sun.
These towers are 40 miles from my location and the image was taken from my bedroom window.

I think it's fair to say Autumn has been a complete disappointment! Although a lot of you talented people are still managing beautiful woodland and waterfall shots.
Anyway, I went to this location on Sunday hoping for fog but it didn't really happen, just a distant haze! However it's still a lovely sight.
Sorry if I have missed any of your posts, I have been busy studying and hiding from the rain!
