"Hold on a moment? What is that? Clear blue skies and a certain element of Warmth?" For that is what I had encountered on Wednesday the 19th of March 2025, but where was I going to visit? Well first of all I had a little bit of time to spare, and when I had arrived in the locality of Ashover, I just had to head up to Ashover Rock - lovingly known as "The Fabrik." And perched high above the village of Ashover, and on a clear day, well views towards Sheffield, Bolsover Castle, Hardwick Hall, Ogston Reservoir and Ratcliffe on Soar Power Station can be seen, but again a harsh blue sky made for some challenging compositions as I captured the beauty of Ashover Rock, after which it was time to head down into the village of Ashover, and again I also managed to capture some interesting perspectives of this beautiful and peaceful village, and below are the photos from Ashover Rock and Ashover that I had managed to capture. But did you know that Ashover was also used as Cardale, in Peak Practice, after filming had finished in the nearby Derbyshire village of Crich?

After spending time and of course a delightful lunch at The Crispin Inn, it was then time for me to head to another location, that location being Ogston Reservoir, a location that I last visited in November of 2023, me though I was also observing the sky, and awaiting for the colours to change, hoping to get something of a decent sunset, it was not to be, but I did manage to capture the following photos with a gentle and beautiful light.

But then I had to move on from there, only two photos but at least it had given me some inspiration, but when I had arrived back in Nottinghamshire, on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire Border, I noticed that the sky was creating artwork, and once again I just had to capture the beauty of the gentle colours in the sky, overlooking The Erewash Valley in the distance, and this is the view that I had managed to capture.
