The footpath that runs from Harvey Street, Oswaldtwistle, down to the Foxhill Bank Nature reserve.

I was actually just playing about with different exposure settings here, but this one came out quite nicely, if a little dark. I haven't had to do much too it.

This is Tinker Brook as it runs through Foxhill Bank nature reserve in Oswaldtwistle.

Once an area of hard concrete lodges, this is now just about the closest most Ossy people will get to nature without heading out of town and into the moors. It used to be made up of disused concrete lodges but a lot of work, followed by a lot of letting nature take its course, has made it rather a pretty place.

We used to come here after school when I was a kid, to talk and laugh and feed the swans. Witness a little bit of my childhood as it drifts on by.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
