This afternoon - D2

A shot across Bottoms Reservoir showing the smoke from a moorland fire hanging over the village of Tintwistle in the Dark Peak.

John -

Very painting-like. Terrific composition, tones and depth.

First I thought it was the morning mist, but it's a good one any way

Not too close to home, I hope John

John, this is a terrific shot. Great scenery in an almost romantic look, because the smoke could also be some fog.

Was there a problem with the fire?

Thanks for the feedback guys.

The fire was, I think, over towards Stalybridge, which is some miles away. It's just that the wind tends to carry the smoke some distance at ground level when there's a fire at this time of year. It seems to be out now as there's no smoke today.

John,

A great capture of a timeless looking scene, seems as if it could have been taken in the 1930's.

Hi John,
I like the way you cropped it into a landscape shot.
Thanks for sharing. Ed.
