Light in the Valley
Crowden Great Brook Peak District landscape


Beautiful late morning light pierces brooding storm clouds over a remote section of the Peak District National Park, illuminating the valley of Crowden Great Brook. A 4am start followed by over an hours climb up the Pennine Way brought me to this location and I sat in awe watching this spectacle for over 2 hours as magical light played across the landscape.
