THE perfect gift this Christmas ... or something for you to treasure.

From rolling green hills to dark, brooding mills and cobbles, we have it all in Huddersfield.

Our readers always cite the beautiful scenery among their favourite things about living here. It's a real source of passion and pride.

And we're delighted to showcase some of our most striking views in this 2005 calendar which you can buy online here - it's just a shame that there are only 12 months in the year!

At the Examiner we've been capturing the local landscape on camera for more than 100 years. Today, our photographers are among the very best in journalism. And when they spot a breathtaking scene, they can't wait to share it with the rest of us.

Their work here not only celebrates the natural allure of our hometown - and, of course, the imposing yet friendly presence of Castle Hill, dominating our skyline - but also reflects the magnificent architecture and industrial heritage that make Huddersfield so distinctive today.

But don't take my word for it, enjoy our calendar.
