Today in Pictures, a walk in a very brown world.

1. A once proud boundary wall and enclosure now just provides a boundary marker. Pendle Hill is peppered with these stones, often walked passed and never noticed.
2. This was once a cart track that headed up to the Craggs.
3. All trees require is a niche to get a foothold.
4. Churn Clough to the left and Sabden just beyond, further on the hills that surround Hyndburn.
5. Some crumbling structures, possibly for penning sheep, or shepherds refuge. The Craggs can be seen off to the right at the top.
6. A hidden boundary stone for Padiham and Hapton Local Board 1892.
7. In Summer this is green as far as the eye can see.
8. With hills on either side it is very quiet, no obtrusive car noise, all that can be heard is the stream as it bounces off the stones that line its base, in the distance the occasional sheep can be heard, but most noise is coming from the grouse as they sit among the heather on the next hill.
9. The stillness is very seductive, but time is getting on, and so must I.
10. You looking at me.
