Stanage Edge vertical exaggeration x3

I've used Photoshop to exaggerate the vertical scale in order to emphasise the gentle folding in this area. Notice how the Edge undulates where the fold axes cross the escarpment.

It makes an interesting effect too!

View NW along Stange Edge. The photo was taken just after a shower had passed over and everything was sparkling wet and clear.

Stanage Edge is an escarpment of Rivelin or Chatsworth Grit (Namurian) in the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire, UK

There is a very low dip to the east (right-hand side) and a very gentle E-W trending synclinal fold axis crosses the Edge in the middle distance.

Hope and Rainbow (it ought to be a pub name)

Abandoned Millstone

Abandoned millstone near Over Owler Tor and Millstone Edge quarries.

There is a maker's identification mark (an 'x') just to the right of the centre hole. This millstone possibly dates from the 18th century and was probably abandoned before completion, due to a flaw in the stone becoming apparent.
