Sunday morning and the short drive to Barley offered a view of the sunrise.

And then a view of Pendle Hill on the approach to Roughlee. I parked at the roadside and soon found this hungry blackbird rummaging in the long grass for breakfast.

Damaged Bridge

This bridge has lost one parapet, presumably to vandalism. The canal has a thin skim of ice on the surface.
