For the past twenty years or so I've been going on a monthly walk with a small group of friends. We take it in turns to organise the walk, which is usually somewhere in Wales, the Peak District, the Lakes or the Yorkshire Dales. For the March walk we decided to do something much closer to home, on the east side of Stockport, and were blessed with a fantastic day. Today was all about fresh air, beautiful colours, warm Spring sunshine and, especially, strong light and crisp shadows. The variety of shots I managed today (all on my Canon G9 compact) was amazing. Here's hoping for more kind weather and beautiful light for the photo-rambles I'll be organizing later in the year.
The striking simplicity of this majestic old tree against the March sky.....
Beautiful colours and shadows in Mellor churchyard....
Playing with shadows at Cobden Cross....
Totally unstaged, a couple of locals enjoying the Spring sunshine outside the pub....
One of the many railway tunnels on the route....
Probably my favourite image from the day. Beautifully subtle colours in this detail from an old wooden railway truck being used for storage on a farm near to Roman Lakes....
As the sun sinks slowly in the west.....

Glorious low evening sunlight on this farmyard....
A classic sunset image to finish....
