These photos were
all taken on 8 June 2008 when I woke up just after 0500 as the sun was rising
over the hills and the mist in the valley, as seen here from looking from Mossley
towards Greenfield and the Saddleworth hills
half an hour later setting out on my walk through the meadows - a scene that was to have changed by the end of the morning, see the last photo below...

climing up above Roches, Mossley looking towards Greenfield with Wharmton on the left
Aldermans Hill and Pots & Pans above the morning mist
Dovestone Reservoir just before 7 in the morning

more cotton grass on the Saddleworth moors heading out across Dish Stone Moss

Another view from the moors this time south west towards Mossley, Manchester and beyond
the memorial cross above Dovestone Reservoir with Alphin Pike as a backdrop.

and back in the meadow near my home in Mossley around midday, spot the difference from the earlier photo!
