This is based on a photo I took while out walking from Hathersage with the family one January. It is fairly unaltered apart from the introduction of one of the many abandoned millstones that litter the slopes of Stanage Edge. I also changed the colours of the climbers and added the standing figure.

I'm very pleased with the overall effect. I took some effort to get the edges right. The gritstone tends to weather with rounded edges. Whilst I didn't manage to stay as loose as I'd originally intended I believe that I've managed to capture the texture of the rocks and the feel of the place.
This will be going into an exhibition up in the Peak District on Feb 14th 2013, along with Trofeo Kima Rocks and Windgather.
