Clouds and sunshine above Lighthazzles reservoir.

I took this on a morning walk from Blackstone Edge in March last year. It was one of those days that varied between bright sunshine one minute and rain the next.

Man-made structures on the Lancashire moors

I don't know what these little brick structures are - they're on the moors between Blackstone Edge and Lighthazzles reservoirs, above Littleborough. I'm sure this will divide opinion, but I really like their colours and shapes - their state of disrepair also appeals to my liking for 'falling-down' buildings. I also like that this picture includes the pylons - more man-made structures that line our moors and divide opinion.

Baitings reservoir on a damp October day

Another reservoir shot today, but a very different one to yesterday's. This is Baitings reservoir, between Ripponden and Blackstone Edge. I took the photo a couple of weeks ago on a family walk. The clouds were low and the air damp but the views were still worth seeing.

Sunset over the Lancashire moors

This one's from July this year, when my son and I went for a late evening walk on the moor behind Blackstone Edge reservoir. I used a high ISO to avoid too long an exposure (as it was really windy) so had to use a lot of noise reduction in Lightroom. As I've found before, though, the smoothed out effect of the noise reduction really works with the texture of the long grass.

Electricity pylons alongside Blackstone Edge reservoir

I usually try to avoid getting pylons in my photos, but sometimes they actually enhance them. This one is from March this year, at Blackstone Edge reservoir above Littleborough.
