Oldham Way

by sandinista

The Oldham Way long distance walk starts at Dove Stone Reservoir near Greenfield, and continues over Saddleworth Moor to Diggle and Castleshaw Moor to Denshaw. This stone waymarker is on the high point close to the Pots and pan Stones. You can just about see a hiker taking a rest on top of the stones in the distance. Mono conversion with a Panchromatic digital black and white filter applied in PP. Sigma 10-20mm lens.

I really like this shot, for lots of reasons. I am fascinated by history and the marks it has left and this stone is a graphic illustration of days gone by. The image itself is top notch and the high contrast BW conversion suits it perfectly.

Super shot, it has a very Dickensian feel to it.
