Re: Today in pictures

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.
