Just before sunset

A break in the wet and windy weather resulted in a trip to Buxton and, on the way home, a visit to this tree which I love. I'm really pleased how well this turned out as I haven't used this camera for so long - though I'm sure that's due more to chance than skill!

I've photographed this same scene a few times before...

@iwatts @andrina @onetree
Thank you for the Favs - glad you like it!

[Stephanie Swift]

Beautiful light, composition, and atmosphere, a fav for me. Looking forward to your pictures of where you live--I was born in Harrogate, though I have a feeling that's not actually in the Peak District. But you are in a beautiful part of the world.

[Fiona]

This is a great shot, I love the composition and the lighting - and well done for dusting off the DSLR! Our bridge cameras are great, but they do make us lazy don't they? Mine certainly has that effect on me

[GazBadger]

This is really beautiful! Fav

[Mark Prince]

Cracking shot, lovely lighting

[Cally]

I love the streaks of light through this!

[Sandi]

Absolutely radiant sunflare is so softly presented--Don't you just want to sink into that sun?

[Christine Butler]

lovely use of natural light!

[David H.]

gorgeous lightburst.

Fav for me!
