Woodland at Oxlow Rake
The characteristic humps and bumps of former lead mine surface workings can be seen here. I'd been taking shelter under the trees from a sudden gale which had encroached from the south west turning the sky near black. According to the meteorologists, this weather was a remnant of Hurricane Katia.

Looking west towards Peak Forest, with Snels Low to the left. I believe the flowers in the foreground are Sweet Cicely (Myrrhis odorata), which smells strongly of aniseed when crushed.
