An early start onto Kinder yesterday morning, initially with overcast and foggy conditions, though the valley was void of any fog as forecast. As the morning wore on, the sun burnt off the cloud and if by magic the valley filled with mist, in the distance all I could see was waves upon waves of low cloud washing over the hills, with every now and again Upper Tor losing the light to mist.

The wren is a tiny brown bird, although it is heavier, less slim, than the even smaller goldcrest. It is dumpy, almost rounded, with a fine bill, quite long legs and toes, very short round wings and a short, narrow tail which is sometimes cocked up vertically. For such a small bird it has a remarkably loud voice. It is the commonest UK breeding bird, although it suffers declines during prolonged, severely cold winters.

Well... yesterday was an unmitigated disaster. Not only did the cloud that was forecast to break up, not break up, but some idiot struck a rail bridge back into Sheffield so we were stuck between Grindleford and Dore for over 2 hours... never mind the extra 2 hours I then have to travel back from Sheffield.
I had headed up to Upper Tor and Nether Tor, around the top of Grindsbrook to try to catch some direct side light on the rocky outcrops. It's probably my most attempted photo without success by now - and this time of year is pretty much the only time I can shoot it how I want... but the clouds clearly ruined any hopes I had of this happening.
So instead, I clung onto my tripod and fired off a few long exposures as the clouds raced across the sky, evaporating over the Hope Valley, as they so often do. In the end I had merge a sharp exposure for the ground with the longer one of the sky as the wind was still very strong, so there's no way I could keep the foreground nice and sharp...
Fine water mist was collecting on my filters , by the time i found out , my model has gone away , that why the picture looks soft .

This is a perfect example of why my home province of British Columbia (BC) has "Beautiful British Columbia" on it's license place.
British Columbia is such an amazing place with 10 main mountain ranges and an estimated 20,000 lakes.
I am so proud to call it home where I have lived my entire life. No matter where I have travelled, I am always happy to come home. These days my partner and I have been spending more and more time camping and exploring the province.
Unfortunate not being able to take a photography tour in the canyon, but still got some nice handheld shots...
