A view across Rivington reservoir
A drastically lit photo of the view from the east side of the lower Rivington reservoir. The strong winds on this day churned up both the sky and sea somewhat, and with the dark clouds obscuring the sun, the cloud edges were picked up in glorious contrast. [ enlarge ]

Liverpool Castle Ruins
Or, more accurately, the replica ruins on the banks of Rivington reservoir...
Nestling amongst the dense green woods of Lever Park, this Victorian replica of a mediaeval castle is truly a bizarre sight, and an exciting find. Erected in 1912 by direction of Lord Leverhulme, it is a recreation of Liverpool Caste as it were when demolished in 1725. Despite not being an authentic castle there's still a sense of magic to the stone walls, and the views across the reservoir were quite spectacular. [ enlarge ]
