Terrible driving conditions in #Saddleworth
An hour after sunset. Twilight largely monochrome with a hint of blue in the cold clear sky reflected in the foreground Dovestones reservoir that leads the eye to the hills in the skyline.
The Sun has set and the autumn colours are fading. The cloudy sky yields to pale orange colours kissing the skyline Oldham lights in the misty distance. In the middle is Dovestones reservoir nestling in the valley shot from high on the edge above.

In the middle is Dovestones reservoir nestling in the valley shot from high on the edge above. Portrait shoot, earlier with more colour courtesy of the bracken and heather. The foreground is littered with car sized grit stone boulders.
The sun has set and the autumn colours are fading. The partially cloudless sky yields to pale orange colours kissing the skyline in the distant mist. Out of sight around the corner of the valley below is Dovestones reservoir nestling in the valley shot from high on the edge above. The foreground is littered with car sized grit stone boulders. In particular a flat topped near impossible balanced boulder takes up a proportion of the foreground but still sits before the skyline of the hills and #KinderIntake surrounding the #valley.
Late afternoon #walk by #Saddleworth #Yorkshire #Moors from #DoveStones up to #Chew #reservoir along the edge of Dove Stone Moss (500m). Descending the #Crags and #moorland thinly covering the rocks in near darkness, but not giving up night vision illuminated by the fading light.

A view of northern English moorland, near Denshaw in Saddleworth. It's early evening in spring and the weather is cloudy. Nearby there is a small reservoir. Further away the moorland is on fire - the land is charred black on the left, and orange flames are spreading across the valley and trailing smoke. It looks bad.
"Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it."
#Wildfire burning today in #Saddleworth, near #Manchester.
And the moors are burning again. Such a shame if this is intentional. Another year destroyed for ground nesting birds #saddleworth
