M62

The M62 motorway links Lancashire to Yorkshire - from Liverpool to Hull - it climbs over the windswept Pennine hills - a very desolate place - really cold and icy  in winter.

Here the motorway can be seen climbing up over the Pennines and into Yorkshire - this picture was taken near Rochdale.

The tree is Hawthorn which can be seen on blossom throughout  the UK at this time of the year. The blossom has a very distinctive smell - hard to describe - heavy and sweet ??
