Tigers Clough Falls, Rivington, Lancashire.
Yesterday was so poor weather wise I was resigned to not bothering even trying to go out taking pictures, despite having the day to myself and a new tripod system I'd been dying to try out.... rain, featureless skies and wind, just about as poor as you could get although I'd promised myself (is that a thing?) that I was going to go out and do something regardless of the weather so in the afternoon I set out with no real plan except to get into the outdoors somehow and to hopefully come back with one image, afterall there's only so much Youtube you can watch...
I very rarely shoot local to me for a few reasons, mainly that there really aren't that many decent places to go that flick my switch photography wise, and also because I've usually got something else planned further away, in the end due to the poor skies I figured I could come here into deep woodland where the sky doesn't matter, the falls should be good after the rain and I figured I'd probably get some decent Autumn colour before it all vanished,
Ended up with a great walk out to this little tucked away location in Rivington, just a quick 20 minute drive from me, it had been several years since I ventured down here on the way here I saw a huge Deer run right past which was great to see and a first for me around this area, it was worth it to see that alone, sometimes it's just good to get out., I think that's me done with Autumn for this year. Roll on that snow now.
