Cowabunga dude!
In the early afternoon light, this large gritstone boulder on the moors above Hathersage, UK, had the look of a face, so I took the photo. It was only after scanning the negative that it struck me as to what it reminded me of – a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (albeit one with a slightly lopsided face), complete with the tail of its bandana fluttering from the left side of its neck.
Or maybe it just looks like a big rock…

Only hardy leaves remain
Most deciduous trees are naked at this time of year, but a few still hold onto a thin veil of dead autumn leaves.

A winter tree
Trees have a beauty to them after autumn has stripped them of their leaves.

Looks familiar..
Yeah, that’s because it was taken in the same field, on the same day as the shot I posted on 2 Feb. It’s maybe not as nice a shot, but it still works pretty well thanks to the clouds and the curve of the path I think.

Snowy tiles
Something a little abstract today – a shot of a dusting of snow atop the tiles on my garage roof.

Dam wall
Another photo taken during my walk around Linacre reservoirs a week or two back.

Paths and powerlines
Although it doesn’t look it in the shot, this path was coated in a slippery layer of heavy mud, which meant my shoes and the cuffs of my jeans were filthy by the time I got to the end.
I think the photo made it worthwhile though. 🙂

After a fruitless walk
This photo was taken a stones throw from the one in yesterday’s post (I was stood beside the house in this picture when I took that one).
I’d intended to follow some of the footpaths and go on a nice walk, but it was quickly curtailed when, at the bottom of the hill where I took this shot, it became apparent that the route was impassable thanks to field covered in about 8 inches of wet mud churned up by tractors. Maybe if I’d been wearing wellies I’d have given it a try, but not with the shoes I had on sadly. So I walked back up the hill and took this on the way.

Overarching power
This pylon had a dominant, imposing look about it stood on the ridge overlooking the road and valley, and I think the curve of the foreground road adds to the shot.
