Views from Pendle Hill
Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 17mm, F11, shutter speed 1/30 second, ISO100, tweaked in Photoshop
I went for a drive in the countryside near where I use to live, this shot was taken half way up Pendle Hill in the wonderful Ribble Valley.
Pendle Hill is located in the north-east of Lancashire, England, near the towns of Burnley, Nelson, Colne, Clitheroe and Padiham. Its summit is 557 metres (1,827 ft) above mean sea level. It gives its name to the Borough of Pendle. It is an isolated hill, separated from the Pennines to the east and the Forest of Bowland to the northwest. It lies to the southwest of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is a detached part of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Nice view Shaun. My great, great grandfather was born in a farm cottage halfway up Pendle Hill in 1817. We went there and found it a couple of years ago. It was bitterly cold and I think they must have been really tough in those days to survive with no water, lighting or heat other than a fire!
Shaun Whiteman replied
Thanks Jacqi, it is a wonderful area, I lived near here (Clitheroe) a few years back for 4 years and loved it! It is bleak in winter but it can look spectacular!

A beautiful pastoral scene but I cannot help focusing on the small building. I always think of the hopes and dreams of the people who were once there. Bill

Brings back great memories. We lived in a knackered old farmhouse on Pendle many moons ago. Very evocative.
