Another shot from Rivington, on the West Lancashire Moors, a bit of cloud watching to get a bit of drama into the top half against the serene lower part of the image.

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.
Another shot from the very bold, elegant Mormon Temple in Chorley, Lancashire, this time a change to proceedings, in colour, you can't go in unless you're a Mormon, which is fair enough I suppose, it's meant to be amazing inside, however the outside isn't too shabby either so I'm happy with that, a windy and cloudy day provided the ideal conditions to get some really good cloud movement around the building.

At night this place can be seen for miles.

After a bit of colourful deviation, back to some nice long exposure minimalism again in my preferred medium of Black & White This was shot at Rivington reservoir, Lancashire. A place I often visit but get tired of the standard shots outside of the colourful seasons, I've chosen to concentrate on tiny bit of the place here isolated within a very long exposure to try and add another dimension to an otherwise ordinary shot. Very minimal, it's either to your taste or it isn't, I really do enjoy creating this type of image with a camera, it makes you look at things in a far more creative way, (which may have just passed you by), in a whole new light, turning the ordinary, into the extraordinary.
Exposure: 161 seconds @ f16

Or the Panopticon as it is known, sits on the moors high above Burnley, it has been designed so when the wind blows it makes a noise as it blows through the many tubes it is made up of, all facing in different directions to catch the wind as it blows by, it was extremely windy here today as well, it didn't make that much of a noise but certainly helped with the long exposure to mute the clouds giving a really stark feel to the remote location.
