Pennine moorland

Pennine moorland
Another moorland view, well above the hamlet of Carbrook. Here we also see an old pump-house and metallic structure. I once read that a large pipeline ran from another more local reservoir; Chew, to these just below me; Swineshaw. The idea was that the slightly higher Chew reservoir could keep these four reservoirs here topped up. Furthermore these here are all used for drinking whereas my local ones in Saddleworth are not. The tripod construction sits over a covered grid dropping deep to that pipe, so no doubt was used with a winch for transporting materials up and down the shaft.
The pips shows Swineshaw reservoirs and Chew reservoir in Winter.

Another best viewed full screen.

It looks a bit bleak and windswept thee Herb...............but still quite attractive. I like the earthy colours and the dramatic sky and the little hut is nicely placed in the frame.

I like the second PiP - it's such a beautiful winter landscape

Another to thrill you Keith. The starkness of the Pennines in full its full splendor here. The hut is an old stone pump-house. The pips are both linked in the clips to the originals.

The main picture I like very much with the single hut perfectly framed. What is the pyramid structure next to it? The first PiP is lovely, but you can't beat a snowy scene with a blue sky! Superb!! Cheers, Rosa.

Thanks for this Rosa. the explanation you seek is in the description. The Winter scene, also a full linkable photo here on Ipernity was taken and put on here some years ago no. Glad you liked them.

Hi Herb

A very nice set of pictures!

The snowy one is very spectacular!! (maybe a little wasted as a PiP , better on an Xmas card!)

Best Wishes, and stay safe!!

Hi Peter, very happy that you like these. The link-able Winter scene was posted on Jan 4th and so yes, it could be a Christmas card.

Keep safe too and wear your mask :) Herb
