Spiky tall pines pining in the forest. Mistery and snow and missing persons. More than two years ago. Blue for Blue Monday. Most depressing day of the year for some.

Another view from Teggs Nose country park with sunlight on Ridgegate Reservoir.

I thought this was enough of a distinctive reflection to photograph, helped, of course, by the stillness!

Followed the 5km trail round Macclesfield Forest and found this stunning view at the top :) Can you spot the sheep? Clue: Zoom into the right side of the picture!

A view out towards the Aldi store in Macclesfield as the sun rose. The spire of St Paul's church is in the background and the Lloyds Bank in the foreground. The mist gave nice layering so I thought I'd try this and see how it turned out.

Carrying the Macclesfield Canal across the Bollin Valley was a huge challenge for civil engineer William Crossley in 1831. The valley was marshy and the pilings sank into the mud, endangering the whole enterprise. Local man Charles Nichols suggested diverting the two streams responsible, and culverting them across the south of the valley thus creating a good structural base for the huge aqueduct and its massive embankment - thought to be unique in British canal building; it has no traditional centre fill of earth, but is filled instead, with stone...

Taken while on a Sunday walk in late February when we had a lovely warm spell of weather.

We decided on a forest walk instead of a mountain this weekend. Macclesfield Forest looked interesting, but its definitely a lot more hilly compared to the local Delamere Forest!

Ended up walking up to Nessit Hill and back down to the car park which is about 5 miles. A pretty overcast day with a small window to fly the drone. Really enjoyable walk with the reward of a pot noodle at the end :)
