2. Windtwistles viewed from the canal.
3. Reflective swans, one wearing a broach.
4. The last shot is tonights sunset, the sky looks to be on fire.

Beautiful sunset Dave .Well captured

Re: Today in pictures
 

I nearly missed it, if it wasn't for the wife putting me out in the yard, I would have never seen it.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Did she put you out to have a wee before bed?

Re: Today in pictures
 

She did, she doesn't like me wetting the chair leg.

Just a short walk around Hurstwood Res on the tops of Burnley today.

Thats an interesting selection of lumps and bumps on the hill side, any clue as to why?

Re: Today in pictures
 

That's what I thought the instant I saw that photo!

Could have been earth dug up from quarrying.

Re: Today in pictures
 

No idea. The Fire Brigade were up there one year with a quad bike and trailer riding over the humps on a practice mission. Perhaps it's a lunar landscape.

Re: Today in pictures
 

What's the map reference for that area? Cheers! :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, I wonder where that goes ?

1. Parking at the top of Willows Lane, a look across at the windtwistles.
2. After walking through an unknown wood, I end up looking down on Accrington and the Coppice.
3.Looking across at Woodnook Vale, in the direction of Baxenden.
4. Looking back at "Accy" from the same spot.
5. Further up an old cart track, Baxenden in the distance.
6. Baxenden again, different viewing point.
7. Pendle Hill & Coppice framed.
8. Over Woodnook Vale to the Coppice.
9. Pendle in the distance.
10. After emerging at what was once the Red Lion ( I used to drink under age there) I crossed the road, and found Bedlam.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Is no 10 Jacob's Lodge? I thought that had been filled in. The Red Lion used to be a good pub. I've had many a pint or two in there and also the Shoulder of Mutton

Re: Today in pictures
 

The pubs you mention are now private houses, and look like they have been for a long time.
Yes, it's Jacobs Lodge, I couldn't think of the name at the time of posting, so had to ask someone. Its difficult to access now as its all post and barbed wire around it, and across the path around it. When I was young this area was almost open access, now it's all fenced off and difficult to walk through, I had to come out at the end of Cartmel Avenue and walk back on the Road to the top of Willows Lane.
