Last Saturday morning the conditions were perfect for photography the whole Hope Valley was cushioned in a thick blanket of mist, I descended into Bolehill woods amongst the silver birches, it was quite eerie down there as the mist would completely disappear and 20 minutes later it would come back reducing the visibility to just a few meters. With the sun above the quarry edge and the mist rolling though the birch trees everything was bathed in a soft ethereal light making the woods a truly magical place.
