Stanage Edge

Stanage Edge in Derbyshire is the longest gritstone edge in England at 3.5 miles in length and is a popular haunt for rock climbers like the chap featured here!
The weather (and the light) can change quickly in this region, so I was lucky to have a brief spell of good light on this otherwise dull day.

Thanks David.
I have loved the Peak District ever since I was introduced to the area during a school trip….a long time ago now! ;-)
Randall Scholten

If it was closer I’d give that climb a try (okay, maybe not, but its fun to dream). Its nice to be able to see such a marvelous image of this scenic place. Thanks!
Paul Woloschuk replied

Thanks Randall. It’s certainly one of my favourite areas for photography. The light’s often stunning, and there usually lots of different landscapes to shoot.

fantastic light
Paul Woloschuk replied

Thanks very much. There wasn’t much decent light about that day. Maybe I’ll take another trip up there later this year.
Paul McGuire

Fantastic work Paul, Iv’e climbed Stanage (the easy parts!!). It’s a beautiful spot. Theres a real mood to this shot – The light is wonderful against such a dark sky which is perfectly exposed! An instant fave!
Paul Woloschuk replied

Thanks Paul
“Iv’e climbed Stanage (the easy parts!!)” Me too….a long time ago now! ;-)
Steve Liptrot

Great shot Paul, must visit here again
Paul Woloschuk replied

Thanks Steve.
I might give the Peaks a miss this year – I’m thinking of spending a few days in South Wales instead, an area I’ve not visited ‘photographically’ before.

Pat Yager

I love the green velvet look of the fields beyond! My son would LOVE this rock face to climb!
Paul Woloschuk replied

Thanks Pat. I used to climb there myself back in the 70s, but I was a bit fitter back then! ;-)
Andrew Murrell

WOW!! love this one and having the rockclimber adds a little human interest and scale. The play oif light fileds just finishes the image.
Paul Woloschuk replied

Thanks Andrew.
I spent quite a while waiting for this climber to get into the right position….but he kept looking at me and smiling, so I also have a couple of ‘happy’ versions on this shot!
Jason Connolly

Fabulous shot, never been to the peak district before..
Paul Woloschuk replied

Thanks Jason. Tell you what mate – I’ll show you around the Peaks…if you’ll show me around the Lakes!
Jason Connolly

Sound good mate, I’ll hold you to that…I can show you what I know…

Great image – captured the essence of the place. Used to climb up there a lot!
Paul Woloschuk replied

Thanks very much. It’s the one place in the Peaks that I always make time for. That gritstone’s really good to climb, but I fear my climbing days are well-passed now!
Scott d'Almeida

outstanding.
Paul Woloschuk replied

Thank you Scott…..much appreciated!
