A misty winter's day walk in the woodland of the the Limb Valley in south-west Sheffield. The trees looked lovely and mysterious in this very atmospheric lighting.

A misty winter's day walk in the woodland of the the Limb Valley in south-west Sheffield. The trees looked lovely and mysterious in this very atmospheric lighting. This tree had a very curious pattern on its bark and beneath, where patches had scaled off. I think it is a sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) but judging from its appearance, none too healthy :-(

A misty winter's day walk in the woodland of the the Limb valley in south-west Sheffield. The grey overcast lighting made the colours on the woodland floor very bright and saturated.

Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK Group. Early morning mist clears over Burbage Edge in the Peak District National Park, just within the South Yorkshire boundary.

Looking over White Path Moss towards Stanage Edge and Stanage Pole (but lost in the mist). White Path Moss is an extensive flat area of peat bogs and watery pools, very difficult to cross except on a very subtly elevated shallow ridge known as Friar's Ridge. It is generally accepted that this is a nivation platform, a.k.a. cryoturbation platform. These form where a permanent but relatively shallow snow-patch (as distinct from an ice-sheet) has existed for an extended period of time, perhaps thousands of years. They are well-known from periglacial environments, past and present-day. Beneath the more-or-less stagnant snow-patch, there can be considerable freeze-thaw action, breaking up the top surface of the underlying bedrock and causing it to flow slowly down even the shallowest of slopes. The effect is for this flow material to 'fill in' any pre-existing hollows and generally smooth out the existing landscape, ultimately tending to become a flat surface. In this locality the nivation platform is a broadly linear feature, parallel to the outcrop of Stanage Edge and set back from it by as much as 1.5 km.

Early morning in Endcliffe Park near Hunter's Bar, Sheffield. Rush-hour traffic is grid-locked around the Hunter's Bar roundabout but the park is serene and misty golden in the morning autumnal sunshine.

Early morning in Endcliffe Park near Hunter's Bar, Sheffield. Many people walk through the park on their way to work. And why not! On this Autumn morning, the light mist was turned to gold by the early sunshine.

The autumnal morning sun shines silver through this misty grove in Whiteley Woods in the Porter Valley, Sheffield.

Originally uploaded for the GWUK group. I was standing close to Burbage Edge and looking SSW over the Derwent valley, Stony Middleton and beyond to the Wye valley (furthest mist-filled valley) and near Monyash on the far skyline. The upward stony slope in the RH foreground is the southern flank of Carl Wark.
