Stanage panorama - x2 vertical exaggeration
A panoramic view northwards from Stanage Edge, with Dennis Knoll and Bamford Moor visible in the middle distance, the Hope Valley, Mam Tor and the Kinderscout plateau on the skyline. This photo is comprised of two images stitched together using Canon's PhotoStitch software, then a x2 vertical exaggeration applied in Photoshop, to emphasise the geological features. It also makes an interesting effect!
Stanage Edge is the longest of the Eastern Edges, in the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire.
Stanage Edge is comprised of Rivelin Grit (aka Chatsworth Grit), Namurian age, Upper Carboniferous. The coarse-grained gritstone was deposited in a series of delta distributary channels. The gritstone is normally strongly cross-bedded.
