Morning Graze At Chatsworth Estate

Morning Graze At Chatsworth Estate
This was taken at the estate surrounding Chatsworth House in Derbyshire during our visit to the Peak District two weeks ago. The cold winter months have just arrived and although the sun was shining in this scene, the surroundings was an almost freezing 3-4 degrees Celsius. Still, we shouldn’t be complaining. It was snowing heavily the same time last year when we visited the UK. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this winter will not as bizzare as the last one!

You might have noticed some subtle changes on my photoblog of late. Images now fade in when they are loaded to mimic what you might expect with a slide show. I have also moved the geotag icon to the image info sidebar to prevent cluttering the main image. Finally, I have launched a Facebook companion page to this site with updates on new posts as well as regular tips on digital photography. Do take a look!

I just returned from a trip to the Peak District with EK and CY. Our plans for travel panned out nicely as EK was visiting in the UK and I was on a one-week break from work. The approaching winter season meant that the weather was getting chillier, with significantly shorter daylight hours making photography of the picturesque Peak District difficult. We did end up getting a few interesting shots in the area, in particular at Bakewell and Chatsworth House. The above picture was taken at the River Wye in Bakewell.
