With winter now well upon us (although it doesn’t feel like with all this unseasonably warm weather!) I thought I’d share some of my favourite images from this Autumn in the Peak District with you.
Autumn this year was been great for photography and although the colours have arrived much later than previous years, I’ve still had plenty of great opportunities to capture the misty mornings and explosions of colour.

My first experience of a fog bow! A fog bow is a very similar phenomenon to a rainbow, however due to the size of the water droplets the fog bow has much weaker colours compared to rainbow, often appearing more white than multicoloured.

I’m now looking forward to seeing what the rest of the winter will bring and like many other photographers out there, I’m really hoping we get plenty of snow and not just the rain we Brits are so used to! Thanks for looking, feel free to share.
