The obligatory viewpoint for Rhossili Bay, taken on a bright but blusterous, showery, autumn day. Looking northwards towards Burry Holms. Llansteffan and Pendine Sands visible in the far distance.

A fine evening looking over the chaotic 'knock and lochan' landscape of the Lewisian Gneiss foreland towards Suilven, one of the relict Torridonian Sandstone mountains. The red Torridonian Sandstone lies unconformably on the Lewisian Gneiss. A south-easterly view from the Creag Dharaich viewpoint near Lochinver, Sutherland, Scotland.

It gives you all a chance to sing. All together now: "Somewhere under the rainbow..."

Winter Solstice 2009. Shade and sunshine in the Limb valley at Whirlow, south west Sheffield.

Winter Solstice 2009. The 'Gateway to Heaven' at the top of the Miner's track which leads down into the Limb valley at Whirlow, south west Sheffield.

Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK Group. Early morning mist clears over Burbage Edge in the Peak District National Park, just within the South Yorkshire boundary.

The is an unusual detail view of the rocks at Millook Haven, north Cornwall. The striped rocks are turbidites belonging to the Crackington Formation (upper Carboniferous). Way-up structures in the sandstone bands such as fining-up sequences, small-scale slump structures, ripple marks and grooves, etc, demonstrate that these northward dipping rocks (part of the famous chevron fold sequence) have been inverted and are upside-down.

Evening light catches the heather and the Cioch Block (right) at the old millstone quarry at the south east end of the Burbage Valley in the Peak District National Park near Sheffield. This quarry is one of several in the locality which worked the Chatsworth Grit (or Rivelin Grit) for millstones and grindstones.

Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group. A glorious winter afternoon in the Peak District. This was taken from Eyam Moor from the footpath from Sir William Hill to Leam at about SK 231 787. The view is to the NE towards the Callow Bank landslide. The road to Ringinglow snakes its way eastwards up to the right. Higger Tor is just out of view to the right; Stanage Edge just out of view to the left.

Looking over White Path Moss towards Stanage Edge and Stanage Pole (but lost in the mist). White Path Moss is an extensive flat area of peat bogs and watery pools, very difficult to cross except on a very subtly elevated shallow ridge known as Friar's Ridge. It is generally accepted that this is a nivation platform, a.k.a. cryoturbation platform. These form where a permanent but relatively shallow snow-patch (as distinct from an ice-sheet) has existed for an extended period of time, perhaps thousands of years. They are well-known from periglacial environments, past and present-day. Beneath the more-or-less stagnant snow-patch, there can be considerable freeze-thaw action, breaking up the top surface of the underlying bedrock and causing it to flow slowly down even the shallowest of slopes. The effect is for this flow material to 'fill in' any pre-existing hollows and generally smooth out the existing landscape, ultimately tending to become a flat surface. In this locality the nivation platform is a broadly linear feature, parallel to the outcrop of Stanage Edge and set back from it by as much as 1.5 km.

The wind was blowing the spray well inland in a ground-hugging mist on this blusterous morning at Newgale, in St Bride's Bay, Pembrokeshire. This couple and their dog happened along at just the right moment.

This is a view of the plunging syncline in the small islet in Middle Cove, just north of Stackpole Quay, Pembrokeshire. The fold is developed in Carboniferous Limestone, with a plunging axis trending approximately ESE-WNW, dipping easterly. The fold style is mostly concentric, but the 'space problem' in the centre of the fold has been accommodated by small-scale thrusting and crumpling, and additional movement taking place along bedding planes.

Evening light on abandoned grindstones at Stanage Edge in the Peak District National Park.

Early summer greenness of a sycamore tree at Whirlow Hall Farm, Sheffield. The same view in November:

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.

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.
