I've been in Manchester the past few days, and this afternoon travelled back over The Pennines to my temporary base in Calderdale. I passed the Booth Wood Reservoir and dam, which was built in the late 1960's and provides water to Wakefield and district. It's in quite a dramatic setting, made even more so by the snow on the hills. If you look closely you can see traffic on the M62, which must be one of the most exposed motorways in England.
It's not the best quality image, but I was shivering so much in the cold wind I'm surprised it turned out even this passable.
Many thanks for all of your recent comments and favs, all very much appreciated.
Very nice, Peadar. It transmits all the sense of cold you are describing. I like the contrast between the rough hill above and the shiny water (ice) below. Fav
I can just picture you struggling in the cold for the perfect shot
