What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was the landscape around Ilam Park in Staffordshire during a Photography Friday outing with Rachel.
The 158-acre country park is on both banks of the River Manifold and is a great place for a walk at any time of year but especially in autumn!
