Photo-a-Day  (Thursday, 21st November, 2024)

Bleak and Autumnal Mick but the sky scape with hint of warm peach is just beautiful.

Mick is this the scenic view from Ashurst Beacon or looking towards the Beacon?I have only been to the Beacon once many years ago so cannot remember anything about it.

That is a wonderful photo Mick, top marks from me.
I used to love going up to the Beacon, on a good day you could see the sea sparkling at Southport.
I suppose the trees that have matured have masked the point of the beacon.

A tranquil photo of a lovely area, and that tune, "Morning" comes to mind again, as it did with yesterday's photo, as if the land is just waking up. I like the understated colouring.

All this beautiful land and all this shower of a mercenary government see is pound signs ready to grab….no matter where it is or what it’s used for or who owns it.

Absolutely fantastic Mick. Great views.

That is so beautiful Mick.

Helen, I remember around 1970/71 walking up to Ashurst Beacon from Up Holland on a sunny Good Friday morning. It wasn’t overgrowth trees than and laying back on the grassy slopes listening to Sky Larks singing away in the sky above.
I haven’t been back up there for many years and believe both The Beacon Inn and The Prince William are both closed.

The pubs have been closed for years.

I like this shot,it reminds me of a lovely watercolour painting.

Both the Prince William and the Beacon inn have been closed for years and both are in Dalton and not Up Holland.

Should be a designated area of natural beauty . It would give a person a greater sense of well being and spiritual value than any anti depressant or blood pressure pill from the doctors !

Mick, is this the scenic view from Ashurst Beacon or looking towards the Beacon? Yes, Peter, it's taken from Appley Bridge Locks.
The dogooder tree planters have planted too many trees up on the beacon, so now you can't see it.
