Sun on Sir William

Late afternoon sunshine lights up the fields separated by the drystone walls on the eastern slopes of Sir William Hill near Grindleford, Derbyshire. I really liked the lighting and geometry of these Enclosure Acts walls and fields, and the textures of the bare trees. Viewed from Hay Wood quarries above Nether Padley.

Sunlit fields of Leam

I liked the lighting on these fields and the textures of the bare trees. This is a view towards Leam Farm and Leam Hall, on the north-east flank of Eyam Moor and Sir William Hill near Hathersage, in the Peak District, Derbyshire. Lose Hill and the Kinderscout plateau are visible in the far distance. The photo was taken from the old gritstone quarries above Nether Padley at Hay Wood, a northern continuation of Froggatt Edge.
