Pendle Witch Trials

Hi Everybody,
I thought I'd share this image of Pendle Hill with you. I managed to grab a cheeky shot as we approached the seventh green at Nelson Golf Club on Saturday afternoon.

It's not the best shot I've taken, and too be honest shots like this (iPhone 4) never look right with such small lenses and DoF but if you zoom in you can just make out 1612 marked into the side of the hill. The sight is awesome when you see it for real.

It was done to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Pendle Witch Trials. I've provided a link from the good old Daily Mail with some better images and a bit of a story but there is more to it than that in the history books.

All the best,

Well thanks to all you hundred or so folks who viewed my post. Now if you look carefully you can just see the tumbleweed rolling across the back of the green, and hear a a bell toll in the distance.

Pretty picture for sure.

Ahh...mrplow...you've out-dried my dryness...that is a special talent indeed.

Yes...it is like living in a damp cave up here at the moment.

I took the pic at the risk of getting a reprimand (use of mobiles not allowed on the course)..the guy far right is the club President so don't be dobbing me in.

Expeliatus!!!!
