Deanhead Reservoir

Just above Scammonden Dam there's a lesser known water called Deanhead Reservoir. This small header water feeds into Scammonden, just across a couple of fields. I like it out here, it's peaceful and you get great views back across the M62 and beyond.

Oakwell Hall

Built in 1583 this hall near Birstall in West Yorkshire is very grand. Set amongst some lovely gardens and countryside there were plenty of ducks to scare. Worth a trip out to see, but watch out for the ghost of William Batt!!!

Back to school

Sometimes, even a brass pig has to admit that he/she doesn't know everything! I recently attended an adult education course in the art of digital photography. Suffice to say, my self portraitures garnered high acclaim from all those involved. Why wouldn't they?
