A trip on the lake

A look at one of my local lakes here. We are at Hollingworth Lake, Rochdale, on a most wonderful blue sky day. An opportunistic shot with this Row and Stand up Paddleboard that along with its ripple makes a nice panoramic view as we walk the circuit around this popular place.

Best full screen.

Thanks Gordon. I had forgotten about the school holiday s and so it was really busier than expected here. A fine lake with a easy 2-3 mile circuit but we did another mile searching and

Glorious sunshine and lovely blue skies Herb............and a delightful image. It looks totally different to the shot in the PiP.

The water level looks a bit low though.

Definitely worth viewing large to see the excellent detail in the background. A cracking shot sir!

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

I will have to mark these sunny days in my diary Keith, as said before, I am not used to them up here. It does mean though that I have to wear a wide brimmed had to protect my face skin. The lake was quite low but the rains returning this weekend to refill it :) Glad you examined it full size.

Herb Riddle replied to MaggsMep:

Yes, he went around the lake at least twice as far as I saw without falling in. As you say, the water would have been freezing.
