Dovestones Reservoir is a man-made reservoir in the Chew Valley area outside Oldham, Lancashire. It is a popular place to go for a walk and is also used by a small watersports centre. I went for a walk around it one November afternoon with my dad. Naturally I took my camera and tripod on the hope of getting a good photo. The skies were clear, the weather icy and cold with a small glaze of frost covering the grass in the shadows.
There’s a large group of boulders, popular with climbers, just off the path near the water sports centre’s carpark. By hiding the sun behind the trees I was able to take this photo, with the trees and small rise in the ground preventing the frost from melting.
