Today in Pictures, a pleasant walk that bottom enders wont tell you about, so keep this to yourselves.

1. Start point, as far down Lower Barnes Street you can get.
2. River Hyndburn below the bridge, and the path to Gt. Harwood above it.
3. River Hyndburn as it heads for the bridge.
4. Walking on the river bed.
5. Wheres the weir,Oh it over theer.
6. This area is littered with the remains of long gone buildings.
7. Nature takes back what we removed in the first place.
8. I'm going as fast as I can, you have four, I only have two.
9. The path between Lower Barnes Street and the Hyndburn pub.
10. Once a busy thoroughfare, now a rarely walked path.

My eldest has just moved into Riverside View and he is a keen twitcher. He has seen a kingfisher and dippers down there. Also bats roosting under the bridge.

I really enjoy your photos, Davemac. I'm able to walk with you, vicariously that is. Reminds me of the early 60s living and playing in Priestly Clough. I kept a nature table in my bedroom!

I passed my driving test in 1957 and seemed to have got out of the habit of walking far.
Anyway I like to take photos and post them on here so this is a light hearted look at my day in pictures up to now.

Get up (no photos of that) and then have shower and shave.
First brew of many, proper loose leaf monkey tea, followed by Allbran, I alternate daily between Allbran, Sugar Puffs and Weetabix. Ignore the name on the spoon, it was in 1976 when I forgot to return it to the counter at Birch Granada services.
Watch the news and weather on BBC TV.
See whats new on Accy Web.
Clean my shoes.
Wash up.
Make sure June's little love bird is clean and fed.
Prepare my clothes for the day ahead.

That's my allocation for today, hope you liked the change of subjects.

Now I am prepared for the rest of the day I will have to think of something to do with it.

Odd to think what used to be considered a family day out and entertainment! The mosaic was part of a large display of Roman artefacts from the era of Constantine. The picture scratched on the wall of the Colloseum shows a Gladiator with his shield. It is a very atmospheric place to visit and vibrates with history -only thing spoiling it are the hoardes of tourists!! :v

I think the first photograph of the cat deserves the prize for best of the rest.

Great shot, well done.
