<p>A magnificent red deer stag photographed among the golden moorland grass at Longshaw Estate in the Peak District. With his impressive antlers and commanding presence, he was a wonderful sight to see in these beautiful natural surroundings.<br />
<br />
Photographing the red deer felt more challenging this year compared to last year.</p>

<p>As the path of Jacobs Ladder twists and turns its way up the hillside, the way is marked by these stone cairns. This one offers a great view back from where I've come and the Hope Valley below us.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/oxfordshirechurches/55605214950/" title="Ladybower Reservoir, Derbyshire"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55605214950_0a16a40637_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Ladybower Reservoir, Derbyshire" /></a></p>

<p>Construction of the Ladybower Dam started in 1935.<br />
<br />
This massive project sparked considerable controversy because it flooded two villages: Ashopton, at the junction of the Ashop and the Derwent, and Derwent, upstream on the Derwent River. <br />
<br />
Despite protests, the dam was finished in 1943 and took two more years to fill.<br />
<br />
It was opened by King George VI in 1945.<br />
<br />
The only visible reminder of Ashopton and Derwent is the old packhorse bridge from Derwent village, which was dismantled and re-erected at Slippery Stones. <br />
<br />
Parts of Derwent village can still be seen in very dry summers. The church spire stood until 1959, when it was demolished.<br />
<br />
The flooding of these two villages was the worst damage the water authorities inflicted through their many projects around the Peak District.<br />
<br />
It highlighted the damage which these massive projects can do to the environment.<br />
<br />
Paradoxically, Ladybower is now an area of outstanding beauty and a major tourist attraction.<br />

Drought 2026<br />
<br />
England endured several months of high temperatures and low rainfall during the summer of 2026.<br />
<br />
These conditions reduced the amount of water flowing into the reservoir while water continued to be supplied for public use.<br />
<br />
As a result, water levels fell significantly, exposing more of the reservoir’s banks and reducing its available water storage.<br />
<br />
<i>Key facts on reduced capacity:</i><br />
<br />
April 2026:<br />
Ladybower was at approximately 94.7% capacity. <br />
<br />
31 August 2026: <br />
Capacity had fallen to 47.3% – less than half full. <br />
<br />
21 September 2026: <br />
Capacity dropped further to 40.5% – leaving approximately 11,287 million litres of its 27,869 million-litre capacity. <br />
<br />
<i>Update:</i><br />
<br />
20 October 2026:<br />
Capacity has fallen to 31.6% – less than one-third full!</p>
