Accrington Web - Today in pictures

today in pictures, an out of town experience, the River Calder as it flows through Padiham.

1. I don't get it why they hammer money into stuff.
2. The sky was overcast but now and again it had colour in it.
3. The main road through Padiham to Burnley.
4. Its only a slight drop, but its a weir never the less.
5. A second bridge, the road goes to the leisure centre and the baths.
6. There is a plaque in the centre of the bridge, but reading it is very difficult, so why put it there?
7. Further down stream, another bridge, this time it is an old railway bridge which now has the Greenway along it.
8. The river as it meanders toward Simonstone and Altham.
9. I've just put my ear to the track, there is a Red Indian coming, or should that read Native American.
10. I've hit the buffers.

The snow has arrived (a gentle sprinkle) so be prepared for weather which risks bringing many areas to a "grinding halt" :rolleyes:

You`d think the gritters would have been out last night, half a centimetre of snow and we`ve 3 (out of 5) people at work can`t get in.

Great pics Jen.......and very nice camera.
I have very fond memories of the Nikons I have had in the past.
