The weather on the day I took these photos could only be described as 'dreich', a Scottish word for the dull, damp, dreary weather that Scotland, in particular, but also the North of England does so well! Nevertheless, there's a certain beauty, I think, in these views of the old mills and chimneys that still grace our local landscape.
The first photo is a view of Shipley Wharf on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, looking towards Saltaire. The second's a view down the hill from Shipley Kirkgate towards Salts Mill.
I'm not very good with a combination of wet & cold, but don't mind grey skies, as long as there is a sunny day in between every now and then.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, there is a certain beauty to it even when it's dreich.
Today we have really cold dreich. its as if the sun didn't really come up!
ReplyDeleteTake care and stay safe and warm. The weather looks miserable but does make photos dramatic sometimes. We are watching a series on TV called Beyond Paradise, a sequel to Murder in Paradise. The new series takes place in Shipley, but it doesn't look like it to me???
ReplyDeleteThere's another place called Shipley in the south of England.
DeleteI learned a new word today and it is so usable here in east Tennessee!
