Chew Reservoir fences

As mainland Europe swelters in another unnatural heatwave, here are a couple of local photos to cool you down, taken a few days ago. It’s one of my local reservoirs just a 15 minute car ride and then an hours hike to the top of these Saddleworth Moors. As can be seen, the water levels are down here too after our droughts earlier in May and June but all is back to normal again with our temperatures and rain. The PiP (adjacent photo) shows a wider view.

Enjoy the weekend

Attractive images here Herb. Nice that you have places like this nearby and it seems quite peaceful there which is a big plus. Well captured.

We have had a fair amount of rain too, - much needed and I am appreciating the cooler temperature this morning!

HFF and have a good weekend

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Ecobird ^club

In my opinion, the main attraction of this old Lancashire town of Oldham. I see these hills from my windows here but as time goes the view also goes, due to growing trees nearby. Its presently 16 out with rain.

Two excellent pictures Herb. Your main shot is beautifully framed and looks like a good amount of water in the reservoir. I hope the high temperatures don't reach us! a gentle 23° would suit me fine :-)

HFF and wish you a good weekend. Cheers, Rosa.

I always find the stonework for those Pennine reservoirs quite mesmorising Herb. Such workmanship.

HFF and best wishes for the weekend.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to David Slater (Spodde… ^club

By enlarge, these things were made to much higher standards than they are today. No doubt today it would be made in solid concrete with giant cracks appearing after 25 years.

Enjoy this wet weekend. HFF
