This sculpture was named "ΔT" which I interpreted to mean "Changing times".....the Greek letter Delta usually refers (in mathematics) to a change of something. The dates are those which are / were significant in British and / or local history and they range from 1307 to 2018 which is when this sculpture was created. This is one of the many sculptures along the Pendle Sculpture Trail near the village of Barley in Lancashire, North-West England (link below). Photographed with a Nikon D500 camera. Processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range but some populations from the more Northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows. Standing up to 1 m tall, adults weigh from 1 to 2 kg (2.2 to 4.4 lb). They have a white head and neck with a broad black stripe that extends from the eye to the black crest. The body and wings are grey above and the underparts are greyish-white, with some black on the flanks. The long, sharply pointed beak is pinkish-yellow and the legs are brown. (Wikipedia).

Pendle Hill photographed from a distance of about 4 miles / 6.5 Kilometres (cropped to remove uninteresting foreground). My "shooting" location was near the town of Reedley which is South-East of the hill. Pendle Hill is famous for its links to three events which took place in the 17th century: the Pendle witch trials (1612), Richard Towneley's barometer experiment (1661), and the visitation by George Fox (1652), which led to the foundation of the Quaker movement. A Bronze Age burial site has also been discovered at the summit of the hill. (Wikipedia). Camera: Nikon D500 Lens: AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED Software: Nikon Capture NX2

Another shot of these horses taken during a light rain shower. Although the aperture was wide open at f2.8 it seems to have captured the falling rain as well as the horses. Camera: Nikon D500 Lens: AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED Software: Nikon Capture NX2
