Dovedale, Derbyshire

I had a short walk at Dovedale yesterday afternoon with a mix of cloud and sunshine. Shutterspeeds between 1 and 4 seconds gave a soft look to the water and vibrant colours.

Magpie Mine Derbyshire

Very windy and very cold at Magpie Mine with flurries of sleet and rain but the skies were great including almost constant rainbows. Images 4 and 6 were 30sec exposures with 10 stop ND filter. The panoramas are in camera with the fuji XT.

Peak Cavern, Derbyshire

 We finished off the holiday with a trip down Peak Cavern. This has the largest cave entrance of all the caverns and used to be occupied by several families of rope makers. It is almost entirely natural but, unlike other cave systems in the area, does not have stalagtites.

More Peak District Scenes

A few more photos from Thursday, which start with an early morning view of Parkhouse Hill near Hollinsclough, followed by two images from Bakewell,  views at Longshawe Estate including Peter and Holly with Wrinks and Ollie and images of Magpie Mine as the sun went down.

Hollinsclough Colourful Dawn

 After yesterday's rain, a wonderful colourful sunrise today with just a touch of mist in the valleys. The light remained golden until the hills were almost fully lit.

Poole Cavern Buxton

 A very wet day here so seemed a good day to visit Poole's Cavern in Buxton. Poole's Cavern is a 2 million year old, natural limestone cave on the edge of Buxton. It was opened to the public in 1853 and today is owned by the Buxton Civic Association.

Buxton Sunshine

 Clear sunny but very cold day for a walk at Grin Low Country Park and around the Pavilion in Buxton
