I took this picture because I liked the way the sunshine was picking out Saltaire URC church against the backdrop of heavy storm clouds. It's only in the winter that you can really see this view of the church. Foliage gets in the way in the summer. It wasn't until I was processing the image afterwards that I noticed the peeling paint on the old lamp-post. Time for a fresh coat of black, I think...
In front of our house was a similar gas lamp. One could hear the clock ticking. Each month a council worker would ascend his ladder to wind up the starting clock. As a child I was fascinated by these things.
ReplyDeleteI rather like that red paint showing through.
ReplyDeleteStorm clouds make such a fine backdrop. And I too like the dash of red.
ReplyDeleteA fine pic of the church!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully illuminated.
