Washed Out

Camera time has been hard to come by so far this year so when I had an appointment for 10am one morning in Glossop. I decided to throw my camera bag in the car as well.

For people that don’t know, Glossop is on the edge of the Peak District National Park and the scenery in the area can be stunning. The morning looked promising, there was a lot of fog around and I had high hopes of capturing some good images of the Peaks with mist rising.

My route to Glossop would take me up to Bamford and the Ladybower Reservoir, then on up the Snake Pass to Glossop. The reservoir is one of my favourite places to photograph and I was looking forward to seeing it under different conditions.

Unfortunately, but the time I made it to Bamford, the fog had become very thick and the rain had started. I stopped briefly, but the weather was being uncooperative so I continued on to Glossop hoping the weather would clear on the way. The weather had other ideas and by the time I reached Glossop it was raining hard.

Oh well, the best laid plans and all that. I hope I’ll have better luck next time.
