Sky Watch Friday: Mossley

Last week, my contribution to Skywatch Friday was a photograph of the chimney at Tameside Hospital.

After my appointment, I took the bus up the road to Top Mossley. This is the view across the burial ground of St George's church. The peak in the distance is known as Alphin Pike.

The snow and ice melted the next day and we had several days of fog. Now although it is milder, the winds have picked up and instead of snow we have had rain and hardly any blue skies since I took this photograph.

There will be more winter weather to endure before spring comes, but at least we don't seem to get the extremes that other places have to cope with.
