My picture of the day-Where's yours?

[avsd]

Looks like you got lucky with the weather. I was up there in September last year, and it was 0 degrees, misty and windy.

The weather was cold 2 degrees but clear and calm. I did not have overshoes or long finger gloves for the descent which was a mistake. Used plastic bags over shoes next day on the Galibier to good effect. Earlier on the week I missed the Galdon due to heavy rain. One I will go back for in the next few years.

Quite an appropriate location, I guess?




Just a quartet taken, with iPhone, on my run home this evening (circa 18:30)

The (long-gone) House (& partially surviving) Stable Block are behind me in these two images
'Stanley Lodge' (7th pic) was located where the tree-line meets the lane, at the right-hand edge of frame

Not taken today, but on Monday morning before leaving the camp site.
As long as the sky isn't soaked with clouds or rain, this is what we normally wake up to. Coming back to north west England is depressing when there are views like this.

Those lines of wheat produce really odd moiré fringes on my tablet, very psychedelic

Kirkthorpe Weir, a lovely 1820 stepped construction, on the River Calder has now had a hydro-electric facility built alongside it

I saw the screw a while ago, when it was awaiting final transportation to the site

Was down there again today, walking with SWMBO, & Dogs
Not the best of images, as it was taken through the trees, as we left
The vegetation has increased substantially since my photos, in my quote




Sluice-gates, from the opposite bank
Date on the gates, is 1827

My Passion flower is suffering with the recent change in weather
Took a wee cutting inside and she's flowering.
Thought she was all white but a wee purple tinge showing now
