Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, through the Dunkenhalgh Estate, not sure if I was on a footpath or an animal trail for the start of the exercise.

1. Start point, bovine pruning.
2. A badly damaged tree still giving it a go.
3. This looks a bit sinister to me.
4. The other footpath is just beyond the trees.
5. Another tree that fell over.
6. I am normally on the other side of the river.
7. Home to roost.
8. An impressive stand of Beech trees.
9. Further down the same tree line.
10. This is the furthest point and back on the right side of the river.

Amazing - I guess cows are all the same height, or their tongues can stretch to reach all the same height of branches - or something like that.
No. 3 is spooky!
I love Beech trees - sadly we don't seem to have so many of them in my part of the world.

I really liked Margarets sketchy pics, so wanted to see some of my pics given the same treatment.I can`t take any credit as I didn`t do the work myself but a nice effect I think.

The Beech trees around here are the trees that keep their leaves on the tree the longest, and as a result are brownest the longest.

Looks like Mrs. P. has become a trend setter, and the thread is the better for it, I like to see photos with another point of view to it. What program are you using to get the effect?

Photos Cape does it very well too, and in a wide variety of ways.
It gives me hours of pleasure.

And the creepy one at No 3 is superb.

I forgot to say it was Mrs. P. who sent me in the direction of Flickr, a place to put all my photos for people to view. So we are helping one another with guidance.

Today in Pictures, a mid morning walk on the banks of the River Calder. it was wet underfoot, drizzling, overcast, and cold............marvelouse

1. Under the bridge on Burnley Road.
2. Back under the bridge, its just around the bend.
3. St. James' Church from the river bank.
4. The open aspect makes the trees grow on a bit of a slant.
5. A stream meanders into the river.
6. Its had a harsh life.
7. This was on the footpath, at this point I was in Simonstone.
8. Overcast just doesn't describe it, I think its time for a cappuccino and a fig newton.
9. All this is required to boil the kettle.
10. Just going up the steps when I found this pipe that long ago ceased to function.
