Today in pictures

That is a bit like me going to Halifaxt to snap pictures of Piece Hall.....and finding it has closed for two years to be done up.
OK, so it isn't a trip to Russia.....it just felt like it....you do have to go through Todmorden!

As one who supports the Bah Humbug movement I wont state one of the obvious greetings of this time, but just to say

Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be,

and whatever your labors and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.

With all its shams, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful

Strive to be happy

Max Ehrmann.

Right back to the job in hand, some from last Saturday around Dean Clough, and the rest from today up a wet Coppice.

1. Another one arrives, doesn't appear to upset the wildlife by the black jobbies flying around.
2. Heading down to the reservoirs.
3. With the water to my back, it really is that inclined although it looks like the camera is tilted.
4. A shot into the intermittent light.
5. Looking down the length of the lower reservoir.
6. Looking back as we head up the Coppice, this path has got steeper over the last year, well that's what my legs are telling me.
7. Were gonna need a bigger coat.
8. They turn whether we watch them or not.
9. Accrington, not a sleigh or flake of snow in sight.
10. There are eight million stories in the naked city, this has been one of them.

I was out and about in Trawden this morning.
The sky was bright blue and clear......the Christmas bells rang out from St Mary's church.
I did a circular walk and took some pics.....
The Sun Inn........the pet sheep at the school(who seemed to be lonely because it came to the fence to be petted).
Some doors decorated with Christmas wreaths.....Dog walkers......bare trees on the top of far hills.
I took all these pictures.
So where are they then?
In the camera, sitting in my daughters house.
So I will post them tomorrow.....if that's alright with you

I was just mad at myself for leaving them over at daughters.
I was planning to put them on my laptop tonight and posting them on here.
I reckon that tomorrow I will be up to my eyeballs in sudsy water......washing away plaster dust.

Before breakfast on Christmas morning, I took a circular walk round the village of Trawden.
These pictures were all taken on this walk.
1) Looking down on the village from the top of the hill.
2) A bird......not sure if it is a thrush.
3) The village schools pet sheep. She seemed lonely and came up to the fence to have her head tickled.....it made my day(simple soul that I am).
4)The road up to the church(and there were people on the step waiting to go in.
5) Looking down the main street.
6) I don't think Santa went down this chimney.
7) A well dressed door......this may be making an appearance on next years Christmas cards.
8) A colourful wreath.
9) and another.
10 St Mary's church....and people going in for the Christmas service.
