Beautiful! I envy you your stamina!!
Stuart Chapman replied
Thanks very much Felicity (i’ll mention that the car park takes you up most of the way, just a small steep climb at the end!)
Richard Veal

Mel Brackstone
Like the way the foreground dominates this scene Stuart. Gorgeous light and colours too.
Stuart Chapman replied
Thanks Mel, the foreground had to dominate – it was very windy and I wasn’t going to step nearer the edge!

Have you not uploaded for a while because it took you so long to walk up and down this hill? Or have I just missed your work?
I spent a lot of time in the Peak District this year and this brings back fond memories… I love this area! Such a breathtaking view well captured here. I love that the edge of the rocks are really well defined and the colours are very nice. A great time of year…
Stuart Chapman replied
Hi Paul – this was only my 3rd upload in about 3 months but not due to hiking (as a – the car park was most the way up and b – I took this 20 months ago and just came across it). The peak district was so awe inspiring – I wish it was a bit nearer (although I guess compared to you it is!) Hope all’s well with you

Simone Byrne
Lovely work Stu, beautiful light, interesting shapes to the rock, almost like it has oozed out of the ground and folded onto itself.
Stuart Chapman replied
Thanks Simone – This area of the country (that i’d never seen before) has interesting rocks just popping up everywhere out the ground.

That looks familiar mate, not far from a dead end farm track unless i am mistaken LOL
Brings back memories of a great weekend with some wonderful people.
Stuart Chapman replied
You are mistaken LOL – This was the place I let Graeme take us to after Jenny led us up the country path! Thanks for the comment and that was a great weekend
Andrew Bosman
Well Mr C, I do like how you’ve used the foreground to give this scene so much depth.
There is an interesting array of colours and textures throughout the image which also adds great interest. Well done.
Stuart Chapman replied

Just look at that blue puddle in there. Terrific capture Stuart!
Stuart Chapman replied
Your clouds follow you – I just have little puddles turn up for me. (Either that or I have a bladder control problem!)
Jeff Burns

FAB shot Stuart, I love it the way certain shots bring films to mind, this one reminds me of Pride and Prejudice when Lizzie looks out over the countryside, Can just imagine this is what her view would be like :)
(Yes I’m a Jane Austen Fan lol)
