Sure is.
Beautiful. Is that the ancient church in the background?
Derwent Reservoir is the middle of three reservoirs in the Upper Derwent Valley in the north east of Derbyshire, England. The River Derwent flows first through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir and finally through Ladybower Reservoir. Between them they provide practically all of Derbyshire’s water, as well as to a large part of South Yorkshire’s and as far afield as Nottingham and Leicester.

I do have a few more of the reservoir that I am working on. Derwent reservoir was used by the RAF’s Dambusters to practise their low level flying techniques during 1943, in preparation for delivering Barnes Wallis’ famous ‘bouncing bombs’ to German dams.
Did you take pictures of the reservoir’s? It looks like beautiful country.

World War I: The war to end all wars… yet we are still fighting…


The summer is coming and we are getting ready for a busy season. The photographic Gallery will open early in the season and I will be holding regular workshops and slide presentations through out the summer and fall.

This is my favorite time of the day, early in the morning when all is quiet.
I loved the picture of the farm before the fog rolled in, but I love this one even more. It’s a “quiet” picture!
“Music fills the infinite between two souls. This has been muffled by the mist of our daily habits.”
I love this quote and this photo reflects the peace felt at dawn before the hustle and bustle of daily routine.
