Autumn, at just a short ride from my home can be most rewarding, for here at the Huddersfield canal we see some gorgeous Autumnal lighting giving the whole scene a look of the old masters. The narrow-boat takes a rest before a possible trip towards the Ashton Basin and two other canal systems. If it went up towards the hills here, it would shortly reach Diggle and the famous Standedge Tunnel under the moors to Marsden in Yorkshire. Another from my Panoramio collection. Enjoy full screen. ps Greenfield is the name of the big village here.

Another look at this Alexandra Park in Oldham , now toward the old ‘Lions den’ pavilion. This was another ramshackled structure until being completely re-furbished some years back now. A stone lion still sits at the foot of each front corner. Of course it is this burning gold tree that really strikes us here, a sign that Autumn is well under-way and Winter is just around the corner. Full screen essential.

A great week of local walks and photos brings me to a part of our Huddersfield canal that I rarely get to here at Mossley. We are lucky that the sun is bright but soft in the slight misty haze, and the leaves are still golden too. Another walker pushing a pram accompanied by his dogs and companion also enjoys the scene, and fresh air no doubt. Of course, as per usual, it’s the light that matters here for me. Enjoy full screen

Another from my local walking area. We have been passing this spot every two weeks now since March, as this is part of our isolation walk. During this time, we have watched the colours of the trees and grass change with the seasons. Just beyond the fence is a small pond with a river running through it. A local heron is often seen here. HFF. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Autumn in Hardcastle Craggs can be most beautiful as well as exhilarating. Here we see one set of its stepping stones across Hebden Water. This is still a precursor of what it to come in this year of 2020 for it would not be quite like this here yet, a few weeks earlier. Memories of a wet foot as a few years ago I was crossing here and on landing on the stone across the gap I stepped back into the water. Some people don't grow up :) Enjoy full size

Enjoy this scene which is fairly natural as the sun lit up the tree and foreground on this Autumn day. Moments later the scene was back in shadow.

Memories of our golden autumns in a classic style for you here today. Taken just a few short miles away from my home on an October morning in 2013. Relax, sit back and enjoy. (in full screen)

Just a few minutes walk from my home within a tree-laden valley runs a little stream. It's normally very subdued but after weeks and weeks of continuous rainfall it is faster and higher then normal. Anyway, here is an attempt to slow it all down and give it more substance by using a very long shutter speed of 15 seconds with a x10 ND filter and a sturdy tripod. Catch the fallen Autumn leafs on the river bank here, As can be seen, a gentle breeze is blowing and moments later the heavens open up again as I rush back home protecting my lens and camera. Enjoy large.

A re-post of the original November 7, 2014 up-load. - I thought this well worth re-looking at, as it was always one of my favourites on here. It also demonstrates to some tune, the tunnel that we are all going through with the Pandemic and to a lesser degree Ipernity. Hopefully, all will be restored to normal soon. In the meantime - just sit back, relax and enjoy! ~This very pleasant drive is actually called Station Road looking towards the Fox & Hounds Inn near the village of Lydford in Devon. Walking or indeed driving along here is almost awe-inspiring in this dappled light. I tried a few evenings to get this kind of lighting just right and I am afraid I never got that quite perfect. The mind boggles what it must be like with heavy snow, hoar-frost or that wonderful Autumnal gold. Enjoy! ~ Wishing you all a Happy New and safe Year

Seen on the banks of Crummock Water in the English Lake District.

My local park certainly comes into its own each Autumn. - Only yesterday, after posting one of last years Autumn shots did I think that I was not going to be as lucky this year, and look what happens. Enjoy large.

Townley Hall, once the seat of the Townley family, was built around 1100. They once owned extensive property in Lancashire and Yorkshire and can trace their ancestry back to the Norman times. Sitting in a 440 acre (180 hectares) park that is now owned by the Burnley Borough Council, it is open to all. We took a guided tour of the house (for a small fee) but its gardens and grounds are also a pleasure to stroll through, all for free. Enjoy this Autumn look and internal views via the PiPs.

Stroll with me through these woodlands and experience the sounds, smells and light of our natural parks in Autumn.
