Sky Watch: Hartshead Pike


Hartshead Pike, on the ridge between Ashton under Lyne and Mossley, is a good place to see dramatic skyscapes and eerie lighting conditions. Today's photo shows dramatic clouds rather than actual sky, but this is England's Pennines, after all.

The Hartshead Pike tag at the end of the post will take you to other views of the hill in other lighting conditions.

Sky Watch is the new Friday feature on this photo blog. It will link with websites all over the world with the general theme each week of looking upwards. Please take the opportunity to visit some of these other sites. I hope some new visitors have found their way here today, watching the skies!

  4. Looks like a great place to spend some time, hiking. Two tracks are always so scenic. And yes, anywhere you can see the clouds moving in, makes for good photo taking.

  8. Wuthering Heights comes to mind even though it is the wrong side of the border. Dramatic and brooding it certainly is.
