Today in Pictures, service is interrupted for a while due to a family crisis, however managed a few shots on short walks.

First two, Dean Clough Reservoir on a day when the rain was horizontal, then two shots of Cutwood reservoir from the same position, it was that windy I had to duck tape my flat cap on.

I think you are very brave showing your bum on here, I tried it,....... but didn't have a wide angle lens,......... and ended up with a photo of a pencil sharpener

I see you have met my son then, I call him a bum too, however he argues he is a student, as for brave I thought society was a lot more tolerant of " the gingers " lol

some good shots there Darren......I like them all......but if I had to choose my favourite it would have to be number 7....I like the definition in it...beautifully done.

I just saw the Land Rover Gremlin posted on the competition -I was going to post this pic of friend Dave's Land Rover taken part way up on the way to the Kirkstone Pass from Ambleside. It's not past it's best though -it has all been galvanised piece by piece, down to the last bolt and has been brought back to life so it looks like new -took 2 years of patient restoration in a garage in Rishton! It's a great vehicle to knock about in in the Lakes and always draws a lot of comments.

Seeing as you like Landrovers here are two more.

1: My friend's son's serious off roader.

2, 3 & 4: The one my brother (in the dark blue shirt) and his mate drove overland to Cape Town in the 60's. It was well past it's best when he got back to Todmorden.
