Looking across to Curbar Edge as we head down to Calver.
The view of the edge improves as we get closer to the road.
From Calver we followed the Derwent Valley Way across fields.
The reflections in the Derwent grab my attention.
More reflections in the river.
As we head up Bar Road the sun lights up the fields around Baslow.
The sun lights up the rocks on Gardom's Edge.
As we clear the trees on Bar Road we turned around to see Chatsworth House turning golden as the evening sun catches it.
As we reach the end of Baslow Edge the light is fading fast but the clouds mean the sunset isn't going to get any better than this tonight.
