Photo Art
From time to time I like to spend a little time with Photoshop to produce simulated art from some of my pictures taken during various walks. I present some of them here for you to stroll through, hope you like them.
A Stroll Around the Hope Valley
For the second week running JohnB and I went for a stroll around the Hope Valley, but this time we mainly chose tracks we hadn’t been on before. The weather was rather mixed but the views, as ever in the Peak District, were stunning.
Cave Dale and the Great Ridge
This was a walk I hadn’t done for about five years, so I was looking forward to introducing my friend John to the scenic beauty of the Peak District. Our walk took in the Great Ridge from Mam Tor to Back Tor, followed soon after by a climb up Cave Dale.
Peaceful Places
One of the things I like about country walking is you need little excuse to stop and admire the view. This little collection shows some of the peaceful places I’ve found on my many rambles.
Memories of Other Walks
I haven’t been out much these past few weeks, a small health problem (happily now sorted) and a knee injury keeping me confined to barracks. So I thought I’d drag out a few pictures to share with you that bring back memories of other walks.
Edale – Kinder Plateau – Edale
This was a very pleasant but demanding (at least for me) eight miles circular walk, starting at the village of Grindsbrook Booth in the Edale Valley and taking in the Kinder Plateau with a return via Jacobs Ladder. It was also Connor’s second walk of this length and he was looking forward to it eagerly.
