It’s bit a bit of a rough year so I’ll be glad to see the back of 2018 and I’m really looking forward to what 2019 is going to bring. Happy New Year everyone…
In the meantime here’s my Top nine images from Instagram for 2018.
Middle Peak Quarry Part 2.
With things being a bit busy the last few weeks I’ve not been out filming as much as I would have liked to have been…so here’s a short video showing the scale of the vast Middle Peak Quarry in Derbyshire.
Middle Peak Quarry, Derbyshire.
There is long a history of quarrying and mining on this site in Wirksworth Derbyshire . Lead was mined here for about 2000 years, until the lead began to run out when the site changed to a limestone quarry. In the summer time the lagoons are popular with bathers, however at some point in 2015 the water was dyed black to deter people from swimming there. This was also the case at The Blue Lagoon at Buxton, however on a recent visit the colour has returned to blue.
They call it the Blue Lagoon, and people come from far and wide to cool off in its clear waters.
Yet the flooded former quarry is so polluted that its contents are almost as toxic as bleach.
Signs close to the shoreline warn that not only is the water known to contain abandoned cars, dead animals and human waste, but it has a pH level of 11.3 – compared with 12.6 for bleach and 11.5 for ammonia.
These images make up part of a project about abandoned quarries in the midlands.

Flashback Friday…
Stanton Moor is a small upland area in the Derbyshire Peak District of central and northern England, lying between Matlock and Bakewell near the villages of Birchover and Stanton-in-Peak. It is known for its megaliths – particularly the Nine Ladies stone circle – and for its natural, wind-eroded sandstone pillars.

The use of drones in Inspections is particularly useful within the Roofing and Construction Industries.

Looking back over the summer…
So today I have been editing some images from over the past few months and also tidying up my computer and just having a general sort out and back up of everything.
This image was taken back in May at Barn Farm Campsite, Birchover in The Peak District.
