Description
Taken yesterday in Derbyshire's Peak district. The gritstone rock was used to make millstones for centuries. "Like a millstone around your neck" has real meaning when you see the size and weight of them!
I do like portrait format landscape shots, this subject suited perfectly.
Curbar and Froggatt edges are popular rock climbing areas in the Derwent valley area.

Beautiful and interesting landscape. The view must be amazing from up there:)
How breathtaking this view is! And I wonder if that's where the shot in "Pride and Prejudice" where Keira Knightly is standing with her gown blowing around her...looks much the same spot. I need to visit this area someday!
This is an excellent image Kevin and the people give that all important scale.
Excellent. The millstone & the splashes of purple provide those extra little touches that turn a good landscape into an outstanding one...
Gavin Hoey has a 15 minute challenge around this area shooting the millstones, try a google. Well you'd be better off with www.ixquick.com Nice shot Kev, I too like the higher format for landscapes, when i do them of course :)
what an amazing picture, great depth
wow!! absolutely stunning!!
What a place, and indeed whata pic too!
It's an area of outstanding beauty Kevin, your photograph does it justice. I can smell the heather on the clean fresh air. Imagine rolling that down the hillside! Imagine it again - rolling towards you down the hillside!
A magnificent POV of the rugged cliff but also wonderful depth into the background!
Amazing capture my friend. God bless.
