"O’er Ashworth Moor tha’ Looks"

Now then, sit thissen, tek a breather,
Tha’s climbed enough to sweat through t’ether.
Cast tha’ peepers ‘cross yon land,
Where bog an’ breeze go hand in hand.

Tha’ clouds drift soft, like cloots o’ cream,
While moorland hums a golden dream.
Water’s still as Sunday prayer,
Holdin’ shadows like it cares.

The Barn Remembers

I am the bones of shelter past, stone-stacked and weathered, built to last.
My frameless window, once a watchful eye, now frames the hills where echoes lie.

The Broken Moor

I stood where silence wears a crown, where ghosted hills in velvet drown, and in the hush of rain’s retreat, the world bent shining at my feet.

A wound of colour split the skies — a living fire before my eyes. A bow of flame, a whispered spell, that only fleeting hearts could tell.

Three Years Whispers, Scout Moor High Level Reservoir

Three years, a significant slice of life, measured in the steady tick of the clock, the relentless march of seasons, and the subtle changes etched onto the face of the land. Three years I’ve spent in silent conversation with Scout Moor High Level Reservoir, my camera a humble interpreter of its moods. It was a quiet affair. A slow burn of curiosity and an irresistible pull to witness the reservoir’s transformation under the endless ballet of the skies. These gathered images are more than just pretty pictures; They are the culmination of countless journeys, each laden with the unique character of its season.
