Newly-mown fields near the village of Winewall in the district of Pendle, North-West England. In the distance about 5 miles away is Pendle Hill which gives its name to the area and is the location of the famous / infamous "Pendle Witch" events of 1612. It is also where George Fox in 1652 claimed to have had his vision whilst on the summit which led to the formation of "The Religious Society Of Friends", better known as the "Quakers". The Pendle area has a long-standing connection with the movement and there is also a Quaker study, retreat and conference center named "Pendle Hill" located in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, USA.

"What are these, so withered, and so wild in their attire, that look not like th' inhabitants o' the Earth, and yet are on't ?" (Shakespeare: Macbeth). This photograph was taken with one of my first digital cameras, an Olympus AZ-1 compact which had a very low-resolution sensor by today's standards. Photographed outside "Witches Galore", a Gift and Souvenir shop in the village of Newchurch-in-Pendle, Lancashire, North-West England. Processed with Nikon NX2 software.
