Gallery A right mucky day. Dark threatening clouds moving slowly over the pennine moors. The landscape is changing to an autumn glow of browns and dark yellows.
Gallery Dramatic clouds on a typical autumn day on Blackpool beach. High fast moving clouds overhead create striking high contrast shapes and textures. Deserted because of the threat of rain which arrived quickly.
Gallery A very patchy day with the strong sunlight in and out from behind the racing clouds. Stunning contrast and colours during a couple of hours between rain and dull spells.
Gallery Surrounded by a canopy of leaves the woods become a tapestry of textures and colours. The changing sunlight splatters shadows and highlights everywhere creating stunning almost painting like pictures.
Gallery Early morning around Hoghton. On a day where rain and cloud is forecast the brief bursts of sunlight create a stunning palette of colours.
Gallery Strong sunlight bursting through the canopy of leaves creates high contrast dramatic light. Small patches of sunlight light up the ground and the bright light spreads round the leaves.
Gallery Buckden Wood near Ramsbottom is one of those places where you step off the road into a different world. Peaceful and surrounded by the sounds of nature. The sunlight creates a patchwork of colours and shapes.
Gallery Calf Hey Reservoir looking extremely empty. I was able to get down to the water line which is probably twenty feet lower than normal. The very changeable weather helped create some dramatic images with one minute sun and the next cloud and always the threat of rain. Sometimes bad weather can make the best pictures.
Gallery A glowing sunrise over the fields and forests in Hoghton. One of those mornings where the sunlight is yellow for the first hour. The shafts of sunlight in the forest create some stunning images.
Gallery Belmont Road before a rainstorm. A heavy downfall on its way over the west pennines. Stormy skies make dramatic pictures.
