There was a smiling welcome on the gate to the Whittle &
Clayton-le-Woods War Memorial Garden this morning. I hope the
toy is soon reunited with its owner. Apparently its Mr Nonsense
found on the pavement by Nikki Helme. |

Today is St George’s Day and his flag is currently flying on
Waterhouse Green, the flagpole by the Whittle and
Clayton-le-Woods War Memorial, but not St John’s Church.
We
commemorate St George's day on the 23rd Apr as that is said to
be the date of his death in 303 AD, 1,719 years ago. He never
visited the British Isles.
It is also the 406th anniversary
of the death of William Shakespeare (1564 – 23 April 1616). |

Just after midnight went out of tent to take some time exposure
photos (1-2 Apr 2022). On the horizon are the lights of Chorley,
Leyland and on the right can be seen the radio mast lights at
Inskip. If anyone is interested the exposure was 30s, f8,
800asa. |

I've always been fascinated with infrared photography since I
first started taking photos on film in the early 1960s. With
modern digital cameras it is much easier to take photos in the
infrared spectrum. The human eye can't see infrared so it's
interesting seeing how familiar views turn out. The chlorophyll
in plants reflects infrared so usually looks very light. These
photos were taken this evening on a walk through
Whittle-le-Woods. |

I've trekked up to the moors above White Coppice to my 'Happy
Place' camp. There is mixed weather on the horizon but the
distant mountain views are terrific. Some notable ones; Black
Combe, Sca Fell (60miles away), Whernside, Ingleborough,
Pen-Y-Ghent & Darwen Tower. |
