Move Mountains

Pleased to see my image of Chrome and Parkhouse Hill published in the Travel section of Saturday's Guardian this week. 'Move Mountains' was a nice two page spread on walking off the UK's beaten tracks, suggesting you ditch overcrowded Mam Tor and the Great Ridge in the Derbyshire Peak District for the quieter challenges of these two wonderful Carboniferous limestone reef remnants.

Taken almost ten years ago on a clear evening walk with fabulous light in early September, I remember the joy I felt as the young climber, unknown to me, struck a perfect pose as he reached the summit of Parkhouse Hill.
Figures lend scale to the landscape and encourage us to become emotionally engaged and it's this that picture editors are increasingly looking for in landscape shots.

The Guardian also published an expanded web version of the article which you can see here.
