While Hazel and I love going for walks, we habitually drive out of town to do it, often travelling to Bolton to walk around the many reservoirs. But occasionally we walk the old railway lines and footpaths around where we live in Hindley. It’s surprising what beauty you have on your own doorstep. I’ve lived here for 17 years and didn’t know the two ponds below even existed. All these images were taken with an Android Mobile phone camera.
