Autumn Images of 2011

This is a short selection of pictures that I took during my walks in September and October that didn’t make it into any of my posts but which nevertheless I thought you might like to see.

Afternoon Stroll from Garden to Clough

The weather looked like it would be kind to me today (ie: not rain) so I decided to take a stroll through the Terraced Gardens at Rivington then return via a descent through Tigers Clough.

Diary 2011 – Week 40

It was a nice dry and warm day today, so Brett, Sam and I took a leisurely stroll up to the Terraced Gardens in Rivington.

Diary 2011 – Week 34

I had a great afternoon meandering around old and new paths in Rivington today. The first part was spent wandering around Tigers Clough taking pictures of the waterfall and the River Douglas.

2011 Diary – Week 9

I have passed by this spot many times before but never gave it much attention. However, today for some reason it caught my eye and, although the overcast sky didn’t provide an ideal light I still thought it would be nice to get a shot of what I saw.

2011 Diary – Week 8

It was a nice sunny day today so I decided to repeat last Thursday’s walk from Rivington to Lead Mines Clough at Anglezarke. Starting near Rivington Green the walk went past Yarrow Reservoir then into and around Lead Mines Clough.

Photo Art

From time to time I like to spend a little time with Photoshop to produce simulated art from some of my pictures taken during various walks. I present some of them here for you to stroll through, hope you like them.

2011 Diary – Week 3

Brett and Sam have been looking rather scruffy of late, mainly the result of wading into too many muddy pools that they come across during our walks. I know they’re just being dogs but I decided it was time they were spruced up a little.

Great Hill via Dean Black Brook

Today John and I had a walk up onto Great Hill via the very picturesque Dean Black Brook. Although the path alongside the brook is not shown on the Ordnance Survey map, and in places needs some care in negotiating, it’s well worth a look.

To Great Hill and Round Loaf

Today my friend John and I decided to take the dogs for a stroll across Anglezarke Moor to visit Great Hill and the Neolithic burial mound called Round Loaf. The hot conditions made it hard work at times for me, but the excellent views made it well worth the effort.

Winter Hill Panoramas

On some of my more recent walks on Winter Hill I’ve been taking panoramic videos, so I thought you might like to see them. If you wonder what the strange noises are on the sountracks it’s my heavy breathing. As with most of my pictures, Brett and Sam take every opportunity to hog the camera.
