Today in Pictures, it never really got light today it was overcast and wet all day.

A walk through Tottleworth, up the railway line, by the canal and back down to Tottleworth.

Today in Pictures, it was wet enough to walk a fish, so where is the wettest place to be, Pendle Hill, so off we went.

Love those dry-stone walls Dave - so recogniseable

And so wet today.

Today in Pictures, Dean Clough Reservoirs, a place I have photographed many times before, today was a day when the clouds were the subjects.

You've got to be there at the right time, and you were then.

A few pics of a misty lake I found this morning.

Sorry I've been out of touch. The Internet here in Jamaica is so slow. I can only access it from the lobby, and as it is open air a lot if it, I get bitten by Mosquitos if I linger too long. They love me for some reason, but leave my mother and sister alone! I don't know if these photos will load, they might be too big, but I'll try. Ouch' another bite! Sorry, they don't want to upload. I'll be home Sunday so will do it then.

You have to be given credit for giving it a go whilst under enemy fire.
Will look forward to a more relaxed presentation of your holiday in pictures when you get home.

Today in Pictures, the clouds are still interesting, but not as good as yesterday. So off we went to Hapton Quarry, and a visit to the turbines.

1. After a schlep through the woods and up the slope we arrive at the watering hole often visited by the herds of roaming wildebeest, I might have made that last bit up.
2.Looking past the watering hole and past the quarry on the edge of Kings Highway you can see the old brickworks and Whinney Hill tip.
3. Spoil piles and the rock face of the quarry.
4. The same picture from the opposite side.
5. Amongst this chaos of rock there is a small section of blue granite cobbles.
6. Mine's bigger than yours.
7.Looking over Altham and Hapton toward Pendle Hill.
8. I think these walls were there to support the moving baskets that transported stone from the quarry down to the road.
9. Lichens and moss, even in this harsh environment provide a splash of colour.
10. The light is going so its time to head home.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Interesting photos again . :)

Going off recent photos I'm beginning to think that turbines are less an eyesore than pylons . :confused:

Re: Today in pictures
 

There are pros and cons for both I think, but the Turbines are located in clusters on high ground, and pylons are right across the countryside and right through built up areas in long, long, lines with wires connecting them all up. I dont know though if pylons are required to transport the generated electricity. From a photographic point of view it has to be turbines for me.
