Dambuster- Snow Sledging at Howden Dam, Ladybower.
Peak District
This moonlit winters scene, in the style of the artist features the famous Dambuster Lancaster Bomber from WWII, happy sledgers and an inquisitive Grouse.
Howden Dam was built between 1901 and 1912 by the Derwent Valley Water Board, bringing a huge engineering project to the heart of the Peak District. Its purpose was simple but ambitious: to provide a reliable supply of clean water for Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Derbyshire.
Kinder Downfall - Kinder Scout
Peak District
Once in a blue moon* Kinder Downfall freezes over and the brave and the dedicated take a pilgrimage to fulfill local legendary ambition to climb the waterfall’s ice. Foolish to the many and much admired by the few.
* Once in a Blue Moon. The origin of this expression is derived from the lunar phenomenon, which also happens once every three years, the nearest brightest moon the 13th moon in the monthly cycles.
Coach & Horses - Derwent Edge
Peak District.
The rock formation, AKA Wheelstones, above the Upper Derwent Valley looks like a coach and horses. This weathered gritstone feature is a popular hiking destination, revealing great panoramic views of surrounding hills including Mam Tor and Lose Hill across the valley. It might be suggested that this drawing is indeed the product of a snowball fight, imaginary or otherwise, as everyone knows Curlews only sit on drystone walls not on rocks.
