Tegg's Nose
Rising to about 1250 feet, Tegg's Nose is a prominent feature of the Cheshire landscape, a long promontory hill with connections to the Bronze Age, but better known for its quarries that were active in producing gritstone from the 16th century to 1955. The name probably comes from the word "teg"(Norse origin?) meaning a two year old sheep; the "nose" is a corruption of "naze" meaning headland or promontory. We took a walk around and up here last Sunday, with a group of friends from my gym. The weather was very cold, the light variable, the walking quite arduous in parts, and the hill higher than it looks! Regarding the photograph, this I judged the best of three bracketed shots (+/- 1 stop) processed in Lightroom.
Our route took us through part of the the Macclesfield Forest, an ancient woodland that covered vast tracts of the countryside in days gone by, but now much reduced. Photographically, forests always offer opportunities for moody, eerie ton
