In the Peak District, near Castleton.
Actually a gorge...

Dynamic image, Simone!  I like the "being there" effect.  Thank you for sharing!

Interesting place, #1 is my favorite

I think it would be challenging to drive there during heavy rain

Thank you both, Akira and Armando.
It is indeed a peculiar and spectacular place.
The incline of the road is more than 20% in places and yes it can feel a bit intimidating in adverse conditions.

Superb series, Simone, Well done !

I like the idea to minimise the (very cloudy) sky. So, the result is very nice ans the snow not over exposed.

Did you take the 2 last pics with different lenses or a zoom ?

Thanks for sharing, Francis.

Thanks Francis.
I used the Fuji X-T1 with the 55-200 zoom for the long shots and the X-T2 with the 18-55 zoom for the wide shots.
The last image was with the X-T2/18-55 and the one above it with the X-T1/55-200.
