Heading towards the last weekend of February and it has been good to get out and about as the weather begins to pick up from all the miserable stuff thrown our way since the start of the New Year. I was busy composing a view of a long straight woodland path that heads down towards the Durham Heritage Coast this week when I heard approaching footsteps from behind. A gentleman passed by wearing a bright red jacket which added a great splash of contrasting colour to the woodland hues – perfect timing! Quite looking forward to saying hello to March, the month of the spring equinox, the clocks going forward and the longer hours of daylight. #england #durham #woodland #countryside #february #photography

February is usually the month I like to go and take a photograph or two at my favourite spot for snowdrops, although this year, largely due to the weather, I didn't think it was going to happen. So, I was so pleased to get the chance to pay a visit this afternoon to Hawthorn Dene, Co Durham in NE England, where the annual display once again was looking quite magnificent. Thanks to yet more overnight rain, the path through the dene was quite muddy in parts but at least it was feeling mild and spring-like at 14°C. The snowdrops in and around Hawthorn Dene regularly draw a steady stream of visitors who also enjoy the miles of woodland and nearby coastal footpaths. #engalnd #durhamwildlifetrust #durham #countryside #snowdrops #photography

Love this stretch of winding road that hugs every curve and contour as it heads across the North Pennines in Co Durham, NE England, from Blanchland to Stanhope. At this time of the year, if the temperature drops, it can often quickly become snowbound. As remote as it looks, the area once boasted numerous lead mines and a number of long-abandoned farmsteads nearby bear witness to some of the hardy folk who once managed to make this place their home. #england #pennines #durham #monochrome #landscape #photography

I think that Wolf Cleugh Farm, near Rookhope in Weardale, Co Durham, was abandoned in the 1960's (the fireplace looks late 1940's/early 1950's). Even in its now in a very ruinous state, there is a haunting connection to those who once lived within these walls. The former farmstead is also tied in with the area's lead mining past. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, the property was occupied by the Roddam families, with George Roddam living here with his wife Annie, working as a shepherd and his sons working in the nearby lead mines. The Roddam's would later move further down the valley to Daddry Shield and I have not as yet been able to find out who last occupied the property. It certainly looks like quite a while since the last time a fire was lit and someone was cosily tucked up in bed in this room! #england #durham #pennines #abandonded #history #photography
