Stone Path

Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 16 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

From Back Tor, a stone pathway leads out across the heather. I don't know the history of this one, but many are old Pack-horse trails from antiquity.

Wonderful landscape. The path leads us to the mountains. The stone seems to be eternally looking at the horizon. Good composition. Well done

A remarkable landscape, and a hint of ancient mystery. Where about is Back Tor Richard ?

@Observing: Its about a 45 minute walk uphill from Ladybower/Derwent Reservoirs in the Derbyshire High Peaks. The tor sits at about 538m ASL, so the views are impressive all round.

Great framing, the border really suits this image. Unreal shapes to those boulders!

Nice composition with the stones. I like the head of the stone and the path showing the same way.

Very effective composition and angle here . . a huge sweep of landscape but with the details intact.
