Deer can often be seen on Dinnington Pit Top in the early hours. They tend to be very skittish though and before you can get the camera out they’ve disappeared.
Today I got lucky!

Phoebe, exploring Dinnington Pit Top

I managed to get out early this morning, but there was no chance of a sunrise shot. The February gloom persists persists, making for a grey and misty shot.
Despite the murk, I like how the mist has a layering effect on the landscape. The deeper you get into the scene the more nebulous the landscape becomes.
Every season in the UK has its own beauty.


I thought we’d got through the UK’s cold spell and Spring was on its way.
I was wrong!



This area of land has been rebranded as the ‘Dinnington community woodland’ but for local people who grew up in the 80s and earlier it’s still known colloquially as the “Pit Top.” Dinnington pit officially closed in 1991.


The sky was on fire today 🙂
