Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Great set of shots -can feel the cold wind blowing. I especially like the breaking wall(5) and the tree (6) -glad to see you kept out of the water today -would have even frozen the barnacles! ;)

Things go wrinkly if I get too much exposure to water.

Today in Pictures. Living in the shadow of Pendle.

A selection of landscapes as I walked down to Fosters swing bridge on the canal, and back across the fields. Mostly Pendle Hill in the distance with one of Hapton Quarry and one of the field we were about to cross.

With that drop visible at either side it took immense effort for me to walk down the steps... for the pics it was worth it

No idea. It is quite an impressive place. Got a steal at £26 for twin room.

Today in Pictures, I did it, I finally got the last panopticon, I can now claim my 2000 nectar points and a bag of humus.

1.Upon entering Corporation Park, I found this with all its windows intact.
2.There are a lot of uphill bits first.
3. Ta Dah,
4. It was built to accommodate two Russian Cannons seized in the Crimean war. and was there when the park opened in 1857.
5. The highest point.
6. The view across Blackburn.
7. Heading back down.
8. There is a fence around this lake, so I am unable to wet my trollies.
9. Smaller lake, with another fence.
10. Just before we turn around, and exit the side gate.

Don't think the design of that carpet is very relaxing either...

I thought they were supposed to be sculptural? That's just a load of paving with railings and a view...

The links were interesting, and they showed the original cannon placements. although I have now got the set of panopticons so am not likely to visit again anytime soon.
