Sunset

Don’t know whats happening with this weather, I couldn’t  believe my eyes when I saw the colors in last nights sunset especially with the mist on the horizon hills. Threw on the 70-200 and hey presto…editing only the dust spots off and that’s it!

Now who the hell needs to go abroad when we have scenes like this on our doorstep, even in bad weather The Peaks are stunning.

 

Busy day today so I’ll update things later

Enjoy

Edale Boulders 2

Edale Boulders 2

Thursday at long last, even with a bank holiday the week seems to have dragged.

Second shot from Edale as the stream flows through the huge boulders cascading into drop pools of ice cold crystal clear water, perfect for cooling your feet after a long walk.

Second shot is of Stormy out walking yesterday down by the river bank, as Glyn says, she’s either had 4 pints or run 10 miles..lol

either way she’s way way toooooo cute.

 

Have a great Thursday

Edale Lone Tree

Edale Lone Tree

Ok I know there is more than one tree there, I’m referring to the ridge tree of course. Summer is on its way now and colour certainly is returning to the Peaks, love the purple bushy heather thingy….you can tell I’m a gardener can’t you?.

Right in the foreground you can just make out the river flowing down from kinder with it’s waterfalls and boulders.

Sun shining and I’m stuck in waiting for deliveries, hopefully they will come this morning then we can get out and about

 

have a great Wednesday

Friday Falls

Edale Falls

 

What a wonderful Friday, sun is shining and we have the weekend to look forward to. Off to the coast hopefully for a seascape I have to get my fix every few weeks and Stormy is in need of a good run. This shot is another from Edale and yes its a knee deep in the water type of shot, but very well worth it I think.

I do remember its easier to get into than out of the pool as your boots are wet and slippery on the banking, especially while you have your kit on your back and tripod in one hand.

Hope you all have a great weekend

Boulders ‘n’ Water

Edale Boulders

Very simple but hopefully effective shot of boulders at Edale as the stream trickles through rocks and make a gentle splash into the granite lined pool, 9 second shot so the water is creamy and reflective.

Been feeling quite low recently after finding out about a friends betrayal….not nice I know but then when you really think about it you shouldn’t let the little things in life bother you. This morning Joanne  said “I love you” which is something not said daily as I guess well most days she doesn’t!! by that I mean we’re not one of those couples who need false reassuring every day. And you know what I suddenly felt a lot better, a weight lifted from my shoulders and I can see clearly now with a purposeful direction. This must be what they call the power of love. Knowing you have each other fighting in your corner even if they don’t say it 20 times a day by text etc is all you need sometimes.

 

So this is for Joanne my ROCK

 

Love you

Millstone Edge Millstone

Millstone Edge Millstone

Second shot from the walk up on Millstone Edge this week, its a little dangerous as you walk along the path, steep slopes to the right and difficult undergrowth and rocks to the left, not a great combination when you’re trying to carry a tripod and camera over one shoulder and a manic pulling husky with the other.

I must admit though it is a breath taking place and with unspoilt views across Hope Valley and beyond make it a well worth visit.

Hopefully out tonight sunset and star trails….weather dependent

Millstone Edge

Millstone Edge

Had a great little walk up on Millstone Edge yesterday with Stormy, the weather didn’t play fair at all, intermittent sunshine but mainly overcast and gloomy, not a happy bunny… anyway managed a few shots that are worthwhile this being one of them, lovely to see such wonderful colour coming back into the Peaks, blossom and the rock colours do it for me. Also love the lead in path way.

 

Stormy managed to catch a mouse or vole or some such critter, took some prizing out of her mouth, yukky

Back out again Thursday

Over Owler Millstone Forrest

Millstone Forrest

Friday at last and this one is from a little while ago, sunshine casting rays across the remaining millstones at Over Owler, Peak District, again this is using a Lee Filter I got from the USA, takes a lot of fiddling around to get the composition right but I think its well worth it and adds to the shot.

This one if for Dave a mate whose not 100% at the mo so I hope brings a smile to his face…keep plodding on mate

 

have a great weekend

It is opposite the car park where we left our cars to walk down the hill into Lathkil Dale, more shots to follow, was a wonderfully sunny afternoon and the light was just right , hope you like it…
