A favourite local walk for me, here on the banks of Dove Stone reservoir near Oldham in Lancashire. The lone tree to the left is actually responsible for my adventures in photography almost 50 years ago now.

As the trees start to turn into there golden shades this local pond always provides a delightful place to stop and admire nature.

An Autumn walk up this valleys draws me to a new addition. A bright cyan tree swing. Completely out of character with this beautiful nature shot but adding an addictive piece of interest.

Huddersfield canal in the Saddleworth village of Greenfield is always a pleasure to stoll along especially at the colourful time of year, my favourite.

Not far from my home, a high and sometimes desolate area. In Winter it holds a particular attraction for me, maybe you can see why?

A local cricket match on this delightful Sunday in April belies the forecast of snow over the next few days here. Ah well lets enjoy it while we can and for me a well earned sit-down on this local photo walk at Greenfield,UK

A colourful Autumn look at my local canal here at Greenfield near Oldham in Northern England. Its a Sunday afternoon and a time to enjoy these trees and the canal paths whilst the leaves are still there. A reminder here of the canals of Holland maybe :)

Delph, one of the small Saddleworth villages not far from my home here in North West England. After an earlier than usual fall of snow and sub-zero temperatures I have the opportunity again to explore in conditions like this. Of course, a shot for the super wide-angle lens here. Enjoy.

As we see this local heron flying in total freedom, let us give a thought to those people in this coming new year that are not free to roam or go as they please.

As the temp drops well below zero and the wind gets up, we see here the effect of snow being blown from the roof of these typical Saddleworth cottages. I am actually in Greenfield although weather-wise it might have been Siberia.

A Wintery look at a church that I pass often. Built in 1850 this church still has a healthy congregation. Not many people around today though -could it be something to do with the weather?

Anybody who knows me will also know that I take many photographs of this and its sister reservoir Dove Stone. Here we see this very low indeed as work is being carried out on the dam. Normally this point is well underwater.

No it is not night-time with a giant lamp on these yachts. It is simply the low, rather bright sun lighting these sails, making a great coloured reflection especially for me.

Not far from my home we have canals. Here at the Hudderfield canal in the Saddleworth village of Uppermill on can normally walk here in splendour. Today however, the mist has descended and its cold and wet. It doesn't stop folk from walking and exploring though.

A blast from the past. This old slide taken some forty odd years ago reminds us of the latest past Winter and the old joys of enjoying the snow. This hill has now changed somewhat with new apartments etc covering the top edge and certainly no access to the public any more. The title and photo is reminiscent to the style of our famous Salford artist L.S Lowry. Enjoy.
