Today is another of those yesterdays shots, It was a day of heavy clouds and threats of rain, however it mostly stayed fine whilst we circumnavigated Calf Hey Reservoir on Grane Road.

I picked my brother up and took him for a ride over the hills at Walsden where I ws born and bred.
About 150 years ago there was a mining village right off the beaten track which is now just a few piles of stones. It's about a two mile drive over the hills from the centre of Walsden. The last two photos are of Walsden as we were coming back down. The last photo is the new addition to Walsden and the biggest house was sold for a million quids. There used to be a turkey farm there when I lived in Walsden.
There were a lot of rainbows on that day, some that appeared to be just a few yards away, I think it was down to the sun coming out just as rain showers moved through where we were.
These were taken a few days ago - the leaves are almost all gone now. Some are from the fairgrounds near where I live. It's a nice place to walk around the track -1km once around. Some are from a little trail around a storm water pond. And there's one of a pioneer cemetery in the middle of nowhere.
