A great stroll along the Leeds and Liverpool canal, between the two main mill towns of east Lancashire. It was a good walk, along a route that I cycled when I was a student at Liverpool en-route to Ilkley. I just about worked out where I slept in a field by the canal - it was 47 years ago, so quite a bit of change, not least a motorway. Still a great contouring canal to follow.
On Sunday we walked around the Acomb Arts festival. This included an art show at the church, with a work by Tracy Enim and one by Damian Hurst: not what you'd normally expect in Acomb. It was good fun, we were with Emilie and the dogs, and found a street food pizza truck which was perfect for us all. This shot was taken in the church yard: it took a bit of getting the shot right, and it is not that great, but interesting enough.
Walking the dog early in the heat today, back at the butterfly meadow. This Brimstone was hiding as a leaf .
A walk over the Pennines from Edale to Chinley. Followed the start of the Pennine Way up Jacob's Ladder to the top of the Peak district. Famous for unfathomable peat bogs, it was as dry as a bone as we enjoyed the quiet bleakness.
