Travelling around the hills near Preston...

1st up is a long view of Blackpool Tower from Beacon Fell:



Next is a falling leaf (well, I actually held it in place - and it's my attempt at a feature in Digital Photo magazine...


3rd is in the Bleak District (up in the hills north-east of Inglewhite) looking across the wilds toward Scorton... (and yes, I knew aout the lens flare when I took the photo, but opted to leave it in).



And finally, what could be be a birch tree, but I'm no botanist... I used photoshop and selective colours to change all the leaves (not that there are many left on it) into a more autumnal yellow, and then burned back the trunk a bit more to pull the colour of the trunk back somewhat.



I think the leaf image is too false, but it was a photoshop excercise more than anything else. The other three I quite like. The rain came soon after these were taken so I packed up and headed for home, until next time...
