 Having looked at all the possible Queen song titles and noticed 'The Night Comes Down', I just knew I'd have to do a night shot. I spent 3 hours taking shots around an area where I used to live more than 20 years ago. It's a lot hillier than where I live now and there are lots of reservoirs. This one is called Anglezark Reservoir. (For fans of English football, it's very near the Reebock Stadium - home of Bolton Wanderers.)
