A cold but beautiful reality.

A bleak January day at my local big cemetery (Greenacres) reveals some of my photo stamping grounds. With deep frost and snow on the ground and gravestones we are blessed with some wonderful lighting as the sun tries to peek through the hazy low cloud. A few minutes later it was to snow again.
Below us is the suburb of Lees with St Thomas’s church dominating. Behind that, are our foothills of the Pennines showing the area of my photographic haunts in Saddleworth and its moors to the left; and the Hartshead Pike monument to the right. Behind the Pike hills is another area I frequent for the sake of Ipernity; the reservoirs of Stalybridge.
My home is a five minute walk from here.

ps On inserting this, I realised that I had never posted a photo of Hartshead Pike on here and so I have just found one of my old Panoramio one's. See PiP or last photo.
