These are a selection of images from a trip to Curbar Edge in early autumn. The late afternoon sunshine gave a wonderful golden glow to the canopy below the edge and the moorland grasses. The photography was accompanied by the bellowing of the stags as part of the rutting season. At one stage a group deer came running from a small copse closely followed by a rather agitated stag.
