Curbar Edge – The Pinnacle Stone

This rock made a great foreground for the pinnacle stone. I especially liked the way the stormy golden hour light illuminated the long grass. After my hike up Win Hill, my legs were feeling a little worse for wear, so with another changeable day forecast for the day after I decided to head to the much more easily accessible Curbar Edge. I’ve wanted to create a composition of The Pinnacle Stone for a long time now, so the inclement weather provided a great opportunity. Thankfully the forecast didn’t let me down and I was rewarded with stunning dark clouds and stormy light. Perfect!
