Footpaths are all around the moors leading into forests and over isolated hills. Only minutes away from the busy centres there are places you can get away for hours.

Right in the centre of Leeds the modern University buildings and towers stand right next to an old boarded up building. The contrast is everywhere as you explore the centre of this rapidly expanding city.

Heavy eerie storm clouds hang over the Pennine moors near Belmont. The sun hardly makes an appearance but adds a strange orange colour to the sky. A short time after the heavens opened.

Sub zero temperatures in winter makes Entwistle Reservoir a stark place to be. The low sun has a sharp warm glow at first light giving everywhere a very gold sheen.

The Leeds Liverpool Canal shrouded in mist. The colours have a soft warm glow because of the sun’s warm light early in the morning. A peaceful almost silent place in beautifully striking pictures.

On the hillside near Belmont Church the path leads up through a forest. Early in the morning the sun is often very low in the sky creating beautiful backlit tress and low lying mist. The colours are stunning and full of warm browns and yellows.
