Lovely photographs that reflect some of my favourite views around the Borough.
Some great photos in that selection. Keep them coming.
Super photos worthy of being Wallpaper and/or Screensavers for Computers especially of interest perhaps to people in Rochdale and district or former Rochdalians.

Great photos,as a former Rochdalian it brings back many happy memories,looking foreward seing many more views.
The description underneath gets less and less as the pictures go on from the first few. Would have been nice to have given more description instead of just the names?
Its such a shame that that very beautiful view will be ruined by 400ft wind turbines!
good pic what about one of spotland f.c.
Aww I used to walk by here all the time it's lovely and there's snow in the background. very lucky to have captured such shy animals. VERY NICE :)
aww what a lovely pic. I used to walk by here all the time. very wintery pic with the snow and you're very lucky to have captured such shy animals. beautiful :)
oops didn't mean to comment twice :)
Rochdale is a big picture; these photos remind me that Rochdale is a great place to live and work. There is such a variety of beautiful countryside, nature parks, architecture, lakes and Reservoirs, wildlife, and history.
What lovely pictures of Rochdale and Littleborough, it makes me feel homesick. I look forward to seeing them every week. Well done.!
I notice most of these pictures are by the same people and can't help but wonder if their is a little "my mates pictures" going on, each time I submit a picture nothing, you could argue that my picture may not meet the standards but not when there is a picture of a shed in amongs't the bunch,

I see there are many pictures by the same people in the bunch here and can't help but feel there seems to be a "friend of mine" thing going on, especially since I have submitted many pictures and none of them ever get a look in, some could argue that they aren't good enough, there are some very nice pictures in the bunch but not when there is a picture of a shed in amongst them it does beg the question a little.
Unhappy reader.
RE: Mr Milnrows comment, I could see your argument but if you could see the pictures that I have taken you would probably agree that they are worth publishing, I read the paper every week and look inside to see if mine has been published yet, I have twice been promised by the receiver of such pictures that they would be and alass no.
