In today"s image, the sun encroaches on the Roaches, a rocky ridge in the Peak District, northern England. Its strange name comes from the French "les roches," which means "the rocks." Rising to a height of over 1,600 feet, the ridge is a popular destination for climbers and hikers in the Peak District National Park. It offers stunning views over the moorland and, if you"re lucky, you may spot a wallaby! A number of these Australian marsupials escaped from a nearby private zoo in the 1930s, and there are still recorded sightings of the descendants of the original wallabies.
