The crossing of ways.

As Winter takes hold of this spot just to the north of Pendle Hill one can see and understand the real beauty of black and white. Taken eleven years ago almost to the day whilst visiting a nearby hostelry for a birthday celebration. It was one of our coldest days for many years at -8C in the middle of the day but this short walk to what to us was a familiar spot was well worth the frosty fingers.

HFF and a Very Happy New Year 2022 to you all.
