Daily Sketch No.103 Saddleworth Moor near Manchester, England

A day of contrasts in many ways. This lunchtime we were in Pisa Airport, probably 35 degrees, sunny and bright. At just past 4pm we were in Northern England, 17 degrees, dull and very little colour. Driving over Saddleworth Moor between Oldham and Holmfirth, I stopped the car and quickly captured the drama of these moors. You cannot get any more contrast between this moorland landscape and the landscape of Tuscany, but equally just as beautiful.
