Nothing complicated - just the different effect of a change of angle. Still on the same walk. K1 + FA 28-105.

Thank you, Gareth! Much appreciated.

Great eye for detail and for focussing in on that. Not sure I would have the eye (or courage) to do that - turning something mundane into an object of interest.

Thanks for commenting, all - appreciated.

Gareth, I understand what you are saying about "clean" images, but am not so sure about which you are referring to that looks "messy". Unless by "third" you don't mean number 3, but the bottom third of the image where the snow is not virgin, but has been walked over. Could that be it?

Hope these appeal! I was drawn to the long shadows in a lot of them, thought the bright sunlight was hard to manage well. More to follow after these. K1 + FA 28-105.
All thoughts welcome!

Thank you all!
Steve, I'll bear in mind your suggestion!

Blackstone Edge is a favourite walking spot over towards Littleborough and Rochdale from home. Set off in lovely sunny weather with snow on the ground, looking forward to some super views. Heading over the crest of the M62 it started getting a bit foggy. It's only one junction along the motorway, so no option but to carry on. By the time I parked up, it was a real pea souper. "This will surely lift soon," I told myself, and set off. The following show that it didn't!. The lack of a landscape perhaps drew more attention to the rocks which seemed to take on all sorts of odd shapes! K1 + FA 28-105mm. All commiserations welcome!

Agreed - very well portrayed.

A lovely set, all of them are good, I think.

Really good! I've never been there, but it's time we did, I think - in a bit warmer weather, of course!
