Peak District crepuscular rays

I was lucky enough to catch a couple of vivid crepuscular rays making landfall a few feet in front of me when I visited the Peak District.

We have started a new tradition this year. Rebecca has prepared an Advent Calendar where every day we all have to do something. Feel free to join in.

2nd December. Text, email FB or telephone someone that you haven't had contact with for a while. I haven't done it yet, but tonight I will be calling my old mate Neil from Uni (84-88) to arrange a visit to see him in Hull in February. I haven't seen him for 2 years.

A very worthwhile Advent calender which makes you do stuff often put off! Rebecca sounds a very enterprising girl. The first time I have heard of crepuscular rays & it's saying I spelt it wrong so not sure what it means...can guess of course & they are lovely!

[Ivan]

Really super image of the Peak District. Fav. I think I have quite a good vocab. but you introduced me to this one a week or two ago: 'Crepuscular'! One to gargle with!

[Ivan]

..and I'll ring someone, I haven't seen for two years since I had a (too big!) birthday exactly two years ago. Thanks, Sean.

[Jay Holm]

Black and white really works! Love the light, texture and composition. That sky really pops too! Fav+++

[Chris]

I have a brother in Hull - dreadful place to get to from Southampton! The Tigers did well yesterday!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Gorgeous sky!

[Ross Walker]

The rays are nice, but what I really like are the isolated groves of trees.

[Caryn]

Gorgeous composition.

I like your advent idea. I texted an old friend today...we'll see if I can keep up with the rest.

[Mick]

I really like how your composition allows the walls to take you from one stand of trees to the next Sean, it's almost like you know what you're doing! ;)

[Sean O'Neill]

@bluefirebucket Just luck Mick! The more shots I take, the luckier I get, to paraphrase a Mr G Player.

[fife]

Stunning and amazing capture. Timing is everything!

[Steve Angell]

Great shot!

[Taffy]

Wonderful layers in this scene. The rays cutting through make it dramatic rather than peaceful for some reason. I like the array of your advent ideas, too.

[Lee]

Brilliant, Love the rays of light.

[Ingrid Budge]

You're taking some amazing shots Sean, faving this as well - gorgeous dramatic sky and I love those rays

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Love the depth and those rays of light!

[Cazla]

Can well see why this ended up op pp, such drama in the sky and great light. Lovely idea for the advent colour. Fav.

[Keith Porteous]
