Photo frenzy

Friday became the day when I used up the rest of my camera's memory card - I hadn't realised I'd got so snap-happy since buying the camera. Over 1000 photos taken since March!

I took a wander to snap anything and everything that caught my eye. Here's a very small selection of what I snapped. Enjoy & let me know what you think.

Summery wanderings

Seeing as the weather was glorious I set off for a pootle to the lanes of Dunham in Cheshire.

First port of call was Chorlton Water Park for a loop of the lake and across the Mersey.

Then past Kenworthy Wood and the lovely entrance sign for it before heading through Wythenshawe Park and past the stunning Hall.

Once in the Cheshire lanes around Dunham I came across the very sweet Sinderland Methodist Chapel.

Sculpture trail

While walking along Lord Sheldon Way I noticed a sculpture, then another, then another - all in the rather odd and potentially dangerous place of the side of a hugely busy dual carriageway!

Stoodley Pike

Wednesday became a moorland walk day as I set off across the moors above Todmorden to the towering and brooding Stoodley Pike.

I thought it'd be a great day for taking photos too, however I was disappointed to see that due to the wind, clouds and general lack of good light only a few of my shots looked anywhere near half decent - benefits of digital cameras I guess!

I think some of the better shots include the distant shot of the Pike and the closer view as they show the isolation and bleakness of their location:

Some of the views from the top of the Pike were amazing too:
