Froggatt Edge heather and trees PD372From not far along the path in from the top of the Froggatt Edge road just below the Grouse Pub, on my way to the rocks and edges one evening just a few weeks ago in early September this year I stopped off here to frame the view to Bamford edge ...
Kinder Scout to Chinley PD371From a summer evening walk up from Hayfield past Kinder Reservoir to Kinder Scout itself to the North of the Downfall. I stayed around these rocks as the setting sun would not reach the downfall itself. I tried shots looking to the right of here to the reservoir but too many ...

Limestone Walls near Litton PD129A late summer shot of limestone walls looking east from near Litton, looking down Tansley Dale with Cressbrook Dale visible behind. The tree and curved wall help here, also the walls rising up the hill to the left. (I wanted to get away from that parallell lines of walls view) There ...
Rhododendrons above Calver PD52Looking north to Calver Sough from Rhododendrons to the south of the road to Hassop. A warm sunny day but I don't recommend this with shorts & sandals! To get the shot involved waiding waist deep in undergrowth and brambles. You can see Calver centrally, Froggatt Edge to the right, Riley ...
Peak Forest summer fields PD83A hazy summer morning shot of hayfields and bales near Peak Forest. Shooting towards the sun has burnt out the sky and I used a diffusing filter to get this 'mood' shot, not technically perfect but evocative of summer I think.
Winhill Pike & Heather PD96A summer afternoon shot of Winhill Pike and heather from a nearby path junction. Those who know up here will know this is not a recent picture as there has been a fence on the right for a couple of years now.
Stanage Edge east summer evening Millstones PD193Looking up at Stanage Edge past the millstones below the eastern Trig Point. Early summer evening light warms the rock and adds depth to the grasses below.
Salt Cellar on Derwent Edge to Kinder Scout PD86A summer afternoon shot looking west from the Salt Cellar on Derwent Edge, with Kinder Scout plateau visible beyond. Shot looking almost directly into the sun required some shade and a graduated filter to darken the sky and prevent lens flare. The forground rocks help break up the heather and a ...
Higger Tor & Heather PD92A summer morning photograph from the Stanage Edge side looking east toward Higger Tor & heather. Quite windy as you can see from the blurred grasses to the left. Shot using a tripod set up to get the camera through a hole in the fence for this clear view.
Bamford Edge heather to Ladybower Viaduct PD95A summer afternoon photograph from just below Bamford Edge heather looking north west down over Ladybower Dam and viaduct with Derwent Edge and Bleaklow disappearing into the heat haze.
Bamford Edge millstone & heather PD94The only millstone I've ever found near Bamford Edge surrounded with August Heather. Looking south east Bamford itself is just visible on the right, and down the Hope Valley towards Hathersage with Offerton Edge on the horizon.
Kinder Scout Reservoir from downfall PD112Looking west from Kinder Scout Downfall towards Kinder Reservoir and Hayfield. A clearing winter morning with sun just getting through the cloud onto the north side of the streams' valley, to help scale it the pimple on the rock just in from the right top corner was actually 2 people sitting ...
Stanage & Heathery Moor from Over Owler Tor PD85Summer midday photo looking north from Over Owler Tor across heathery moor towards Stanage Edge. Made entirely by the shadows of the clouds adding variation and depth to the moor, also rocks, heather and green bracken help break up the forground.
Burbage North Valley summer evening PD145Looking south to Carl Wark & Longshaw from Burbage North on a summer evening. Boulders just below the gritstone cliffs in the forground and sidelit emerging new growth of bracken mid frame left. The trees in the valley and towards Higger Tor are partly in shadow to the right.
Ladybower Dam & Heather to Bleaklow PD93Ladybower Dam from the start of derwent edge with summer heather. Looking north towards derwent dam with the far moors between Bleaklow and Howden visible on the horizon, green bracken and the yellowing fields, along with the wooded slopes down near the water, all help to add contrast. This was the ...
Padley Gorge & Heather PD88Looking north up Padley Gorge towards Longshaw and Burbage South in Summer. The fox House pub is hidden in the trees top frame middle and you can see a few cars parked top right near this deservedly popular area. A very good year for heather when I took this one.
Winhill fence to Ladybower Dam PD294A wideangle view from the path up Winhill from Thornhill towards Bamford and Ladybower Dam. The stile and fence curving off down the hill lead you in, and the cloud shadows around Bamford add variety to the distant light. The small tree and a few clouds also add interest to the ...
Lamb and Mother near Edale below Kinder Scout PD297From down in a non threatening ditch looking up at a wary lamb and it's mother near Edale, in the fields below Grindslow Knoll with Kinder Scout visible in the background behind Grindsbrook. After waiting for a while low down in this grassy ditch they eventually got quite close.
