Ball Grove, Colne.

Phil has posted:

One of the ponds along the Nature Trail near Ball Grove park in Colne, North-West England. In Spring this area is full of young frogs and Dragonflies (both of which breed here) and various breeds of birds. The Bull-rushes provide a hidden nesting site for ducks, some of which can be seen emerging from them in this scene. If you look at the "Satellite view" the whole pond appears to be coloured Brown....this is caused by the rushes which often cover the whole area. The wooden structure is part of a viewing platform which extends into the middle of the pond.

Camera: Sony RX100.

The locks on the Leeds-Liverpool canal at Barrowford in Pendle district, North-West England, photographed with a Nikon D300s camera and my new 17-55mm wide-angle lens. I forgot to set the aperture correctly for a greater depth-of-field (I had it set at f2.8 instead of a smaller value) but the background is still reasonably in-focus. The angle of view is equivalent to approx. 25mm on a full-frame camera.

Wycoller, the packhorse bridge.

Phil has posted:

The packhorse bridge in the Pendle village of Wycoller. This bridge is one of three ancient bridges in Wycoller and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The footpath over this bridge has been eroded by centuries of use (mainly by clog-wearing hand-loom weavers in pre-industrial times) and is deeply grooved. Both arches are leaning slightly sideways as the result of many years of heavy use.

"Colne Water" in Winter.

Phil has posted:

Colne Water is a small river near the town of Colne in North-West England. It is formed at Covey Bridge by the confluence of the River Laneshaw and Wycoller Beck. From there the river runs in a westerly direction via Cottontree to join Pendle Water at Lowerford. The Brown colouration of the water is caused by peat particles from the hills and moors which surround the area. Photographed on a very cold and frosty morning whilst walking from Brierfield to Trawden. Camera Nikon D90 and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

Farne Islands ferry "Glad Tidings".

nobody@ipernity.com (Phil) — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 13:33:08 +0000

Phil has posted:

One of the Ferry fleet, "Glad Tidings", which runs between the coastal town of Seahouses and the nearby Farne Islands. The islands are home to many species of birds and thousands of Grey Seals (and they are the former home of at least 3 Saints).
The Islands are also famous for their association with Grace Darling (see 1st link below) who, with her lighthouse-keeper father William, saved the lives of 9 people in 1838 when the ship "Forfarshire" went aground and split apart on nearby rocks during a violent storm. Despite weather which was too severe for the Seahouses lifeboat to be launched, Grace and her father rowed to the wreck in a small boat and managed to save the survivors.
