Oak & Heather
Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 6 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
Taken on a heather moor called Stanton Edge earlier this week.
I also shot a roll of B&W HP5 of this scene with my Nikon F100, which I will put on AM3 when I get the Negs developed. This was taken on a Nikon D70, wideangle with 18-70mm Nikon lens.

Nice shot Richard , Are those paths or trails you can walk ? Watch out for the hounds of Stanton Edge !

@Robert: There are paths right across the heather moor, some made by sheep, some by people.

Superb Richard, the light and scenery are to die for!
if I didn't already know that you missed the snow, i would have said that there was snow in those clouds!

Oh Richard!! This is beautiful! For me it's how you framed this with that lone tree in the foreground.
