The autumn feels

I'm getting the autumn feels. A glorious morning a week or so ago enticed me out to take my 'annual' photo of Saltaire URC church, surrounded by autumn colour. Actually, it's not quite so surrounded as it was in the past, since the large tree nearest the church on the right collapsed earlier this year, leaving a big gap. It still looks very beautiful though. 

The park keeper's lodge in Roberts Park looked rather good too, embraced by a horse chestnut tree that is well on its colour journey. The lodge has a ridiculous number of fancy chimneys. I sometimes wonder if there's a secret sacrificial altar or something in there? 

The view below shows the trees that line the Upper Coach Road, on its way up to Milner Field. The light roof on the left is Titus Salt School. Away in the distance are the telecomms masts on Idle Hill. Some of our trees are already very autumnal, others have hardly started to turn. But there is a crispness in the air some mornings that reminds us of where we're heading.

  1. Maybe the lodge is older than we think and once used by the Druids?

  3. Lovely photos, autumn there is changing much like it has here in Vermont with greens mingling in with the colorful foliage. It feels almost like looking at the sky when fireworks go off.

  5. One of your many simple and appealing series of images. Fall in Yorkshire suits it.
