Today in Pictures, a place that draws me back, striding through the valley of stone.

1. Heading past the reservoirs we start the climb uphill.
2. An abandoned farmhouse on the way up.
3. At the top of the climb, a complex of buildings to process the stone quarried from the hill, you can make out the stone base that houses a steam engine to process the stone, its to the right of the buildings below the hole in the wall.
4. Another steam engine foundation, this is next to the pond so could be to pump water to the cutting machines.
5. This is the hub of the operation, I am standing on the "Tramway" this was used to get the stone moved around the area and off the hill.
6. Looking down on Calf Hey and Ogden reservoirs, with Helmshore in the distance.
7. Part of the Tramway, looking at the spoil piles, these piles cover the top of the hill, and are now covered in part with grass, moss and heather.
8. A drop in altitude, almost back at water level, many streams feed the top end of Calf Hey Reservoir.
9. Spotted this in passing, not sure what it's about, but you have to walk a long way to get here.
10. Heading back to the car,the climb we did on the right, we then walked the ridge to the far right and down at the other end of the reservoir.

A couple of pics through the loft skylight, might try a few more later depending how tired I am and whether it`s still clear skies.

1. What I believe is Jupiter.
2. Same as 1. but a longer exposure to show some moons.

Glad you're in your own home ... showing moons in public has to be illegal over there.

I had a walk over the coppice yesterday,then down by the lodges stopping off to look for trolls under the bridge where plantation mill was before having a look at owl hall and finally through Arden hall.
My camera seemed to have a mind of it's own (shooting in Raw and filling the memory in no time)

The Trolls are experts with all technology so a simple adjustment to your camera can be done in an instant.

A change of scenery for us today with a stroll around Pennington Flash

As you can see, Spring hasn't arrived in southern Ontario yet. For davemac's photo competition theme, I'm having to rely on past photos
Yet the signs are there that it won't be long now - a balmy 8 degrees later this aft!

Just a few from a walk home from work, so chuffed to see a wild owl at last, and I`d only just watched a program on them last night (Super powered owls - BBC iPlayer - Natural World - 2015-2016: 2. Super Powered Owls)
