The Golden Valley - Burbage and Carl Wark in the autumn sunshine

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.

View southwards from Burbage Edge in the Peak District National Park. The Burbage Brook flows through the prominent v-shaped channel; the Carl Wark hillfort is on the skyline just to the right of centre.
