Facebook Challenge

I was invited to take part in another Facebook Challenge recently.  Normally I just ignore but this was a photo challenge.  Over the course of seven days I was asked to post my favourite landscape/natural world photos.  My seven photos were;

Day 1
I dropped GO off at his new work for a trial day.  It was ridiculously early for a Saturday, as I turned back to go into town I saw the most stunning sunrise over the Calder valley.  It was the moment I chose to take part in the challenge.


Day 2
Although this was my second day photo I actually took it on the Saturday.  It was a photo taken on the Bacup Road and it made me chuckle and recently I have been taking public transport and have had to queue many a time.  


Day 3 
Was a throwback photo of Penn's Caves we went to visit my brother in Pennsylvania.  It was taken with a long range lense and I was so excited that I had captured this shot on my own, there are no touch ups at all.


Day 4 
Was a photo taken recently on a trip to Blackpool, it a great photo enhanced later with adjustments made to the saturation and filter used, to amp up the moodiness.  I love it and use it As My desktop wallpaper.


Day 5
A walk around the reservoir took an unexpected twist when we got caught in a low flying cloud.  Again it took on a moody and very eerie feel.


Day 6
Another throwback this time to our Scandinavin Summer road trip.  We pulled into a service station/art gallery/abandoned motel, this shining had nothing on this place.  And while looking around we heard the river, it was hard to miss to be fair. We followed it snapped this piccie it is again a favourite and sums up holiday, wild, rocky and off the beaten track.


Day 7 
On the way home from my new school I get stuck in so many roadworks it can take me two hours to do a thirty minute journey.  I have now found another way, it
Should in theory take me longer but as it
Is relatively quiet I am on the move and get back in forty minutes.  It takes me
past some stunning scenery and over the tops. This is a viaduct I hoe to visit one day.


By day 8 I had enjoyed looking through all my old and new photos that not only could I not stop but I also couldn't choose.  So as my swan song I posted a summer's day in Oxfordshire, a wintry day in Bünde wonderland and a painting I did of the Rocky Mountains in Canada.




And one that didn't make it, sunrise over the Grand Canyon.
