OUR picture of the week is of the Bridgewater Canal in Leigh.
It was taken by Les Walker from Westleigh on New Year’s Day.
The 58-year-old said: “It was a beautiful calm day, ideal for this type of photo.
“It was so nice that I took dozens of photos all along the canal that morning from the bypass to Plank Lane.”
Les is an enthusiastic photographer and a keen gardener. In fact he is the secretary of Lilford Park Allotment Society.
He said: “I take my camera everywhere and take pictures of stuff like the allotment, canals and parks.
“I was out five minutes ago taking pictures of my tomato seedlings!”
