Alternative White Edge 2

Alternative White Edge 2
This is an experimental treatment of the previous photo.

The vertical scale has been exaggerated three-fold and then Photoshop 'watercolour' filter applied. Normally I don't bother much with these filters (too much of a gimmick) but in this case I think it works well and might even be considered artistic?? The resulting image, apart from being interesting in its own right, clearly enhances the geological framework of this area. The incised V-shaped notch of the Derwent Valley cut down through a much earlier (Tertiary?) erosion platform is well seen. In the far distance on the middle-left skyline is the Kinderscout plateau; Win Hill is in the centre distance and Bamford Edge at about 0.7, 0.6.

The brown smoke haze is a result of controlled burning of the heather moorland in the Strines area to the west of Sheffield.
