The hills of the West Pennine Moors are not easy to photograph as they are not very dramatic and the moorland can be a bit monotonous. Here the combination of the snow and the grass growing on the edge of the eroded path provided a sense of flow through the foreground, linking to the stile and distant path. The early morning light on Great Hill was the final ingredient, adding a nice contrast between the warmth and the cold.
