A refreshing look at one of the many gullies in the Chew Valley of Saddleworth . Why these fences are here, I can never understand as there is neither livestock nor bigger wild animals here. Probably just remnant’s of times gone by HFF, enjoy this Good Friday and Easter weekend.

Since we don't appear to be having any real snow this winter, here is a shot taken a few years back. Another from the Saddleworth area, taken just above Chew reservoir. It was a cold long walk back to my car but quite a few photos taken like this. Enjoy full screen

Over here we can get some snow with blue skies now and again. Here is such a scene taken on one of my higher reservoir walks a year or so back, called Chew Reservoir near my favourite Dovestones reservoir in Greenfield. 2018 was a bleak time for this high area –it being devastated by moorland fires in the drought. That will take many years to recover but snow like this hides most things. Enjoy As usual, best viewed full screen on black. I wish you all, A Wonderful New Year and HFF, Herb

A view of my favourite reservoir from Saddleworth Moor. In the background one can the village of Greenfield and Mossley towards the town of Oldham here in Lancashire, UK. The snow still lingers after a downfall some five days ago testifying to the lower temperature at its height here. Quite a nice climb up too. Enjoy

Taken near the Saddleworth reservoir of Dovestones here in Lancashire UK, alas last Winter. Enjoy.
