Springtime in Oldham

Springtime in Oldham
A view of Hartshead Pike, a local landmark, taken just a couple of hundred meters from my home. We used to see this quite, just the same, from one of our windows but now high trees in the neighbours garden has ended all that. (We now have twittering birds instead –that is some compensation, I must admit.) Its mid April and well into Spring –you can tell by the amount of snow we have on this day.

A very strange month of April. . We had new snow yesterday on the mountains all around and today a very stark wind.

Yes, I think most of Europe is feeling the effect of Arctic high pressure at the moment -bringing cold and snow as well as sun.

Keep safe. Herb

You have been lucky then (or unlucky) not to have snow. It makes for nice photos though.

Enjoy lock-down release. Herb

The weather has been crazy this spring.............this could easily have been taken in mid-winter.

Your composition is spot on Herb and the diffused light is gorgeous. Such a beautiful scene and a bit of a shame you can no longer see it properly through your windows.

Yes, if not for the very green leaved trees one could easily be fooled that this was mid January. Good that you liked this. This is somewhat magnified to make it closer than reality. Great that you liked it.

Keep safe. Herb

Thanks for this Steve and sorry I did nor see it earlier. Yes, a place so familiar to me that I almost completely ignore it now. As you say. some nice light with this different viewpoint. Glad you enjoyed it.
