Burbage autumn spotlight x2 vertical exaggeration

Only half an hour previously, the cloud had been down to ground level, enveloping the scene in a damp drizzly mist. Then within the space of 15 minutes or so, the cloud lifted and shafts of sunlight beamed down on to a golden autumnal landscape.

Taken from Burbage Edge in the Peak District National Park. Higger Tor is on the right skyline and the Carl Wark hillfort just to the left of centre.

Vertical scale exaggerated x2 in order to emphasise geological and geomorphological features, but it also makes for a nice effect!

The v-shaped notch of the Burbage Brook is especially clear in this vertical exaggeration. This probably indicates renewed downcutting during post-glacial isostatic uplift of the area. (The 'cheese wire effect')
