1. I am drawn to wet bits, I think it is an evolution thing, and our journey from the sea to land.
2. You will notice there is no footpath here, I am covered in sticky willy seed heads, I thought I had found a feathery fungi, bottom right of the picture, until it moved, it's my dogs tail, Gormless or what !
3. Thats my eventual destination.St James Church.
4. The River Calder as it meanders toward Martholme Viaduct.
5. You have no idea how difficult it is taking a photo, on stilts, in the middle of the river.
6. The pylons as they march across the countryside.
7. St. James Church, Altham, an Anglican Parish Church.
8. Built in 1140, when King Stephen was on the throne, and rebuilt in 1512.
9. The tower was added in 1859, the entire construction is made out of sandstone with a stone roof. It is a grade 2 listed building.
10. Stone heads are carved into the stonework of the windows, they are a collection of people wearing crowns, skullcaps, turbans, also dodgy haircuts and handlebar moustaches. Some of the carvings have been lost over time as sandstone erodes with the weather.

With that my time was up, but my interest wasn't, I hope you have found this as interesting as I did.

No. 5: how on earth did you...? I know you like moisture, but this was going above and beyond - unless there was a bridge!

What a marvellous old church. I have several relatives tied in with it in the usual ways: baptisms, marriages and burials. May I 'borrow' one or two of your shots for my tree? I'll give you credit of course. :)
