Evergreen (or orange)

fishyfisharcadeLeave a comment

Here’s a tree that I photographed on the Longshaw estate while on my Peak District walk last weekend. It’s a conifer of some sort, but it’s needles are a lovely orange colour, making it distinctive amongst the surrounding trees. It has a lovely sloping trunk which gives its canopy a very attractive shape.

I’ve photographed the tree previously a couple of years ago and that picture can be seen in an earlier blog post.

A6187

This is the A6187 road. It runs thirteen and a half miles from Fox House Inn on the outskirts of Sheffield (close to where this photo was taken), to the village of Castleton – famous for it’s caves and Blue John.

The section here veers in from the left where the trees are, crosses Burbage Brook and angles up towards Surprise View carpark – which is just beyond the birch woods in the middle -right. Shortly after that the road takes a 90-degree turn to the right and decends into Hathersage and the Derwent Valley.

Packhorse bridge

fishyfisharcade5 Comments

This packhorse bridge spans Burbage Brook below the ancient hill fort of Carl Wark in the north-eastern Peak District National Park. The bridge is grade II listed and dates to around 1750. The bridge still gets regular use by hikers as the only span across the brook between the A6187 to the south and Ringinglow Road to the north.

Little house. Big sky.

fishyfisharcade1 Comment

This shot was taken a few minutes after the photo I published in my post from the 20th March. The earlier image was the last shot on the roll of Portra, and this was the first on the roll of Shanghai GP3. I’ve cropped this image to a 6×4.5 ratio as the upper part of the frame was just empty blue sky, which didn’t add much to the picture.

I *think* I prefer this B&W phot over the colour, but there’s not much in it really. I like them both a lot. The colour image is a little more abstract as it only features the ploughed field and sky.

Excavator

Following a barely noticeable theme, we go from yesterday’s picture of a cement mixer to today’s picture of an excavator. This was parked up atop a pile of earth on what looks to be the site of a new home being constructed. It’s in a nice location, so will undoubtedly be costing a penny or two.

Anyway, I liked the way the machine was framed by a couple of trees and the way the shadows produced nicely dappled light on the scene.
