Much as I enjoyed exploring Paris, it's lovely to be back on home turf. Since we got back, the weather here has been unpredictable, with a lot of rain and grey skies. There's quite an art to discerning when the bright, dry spells are going to appear, as it's obviously more pleasant to get my daily step count in when it's not actually chucking it down. In fact on a couple of days I didn't go out at all since it never seemed to get light, never mind dry.
Photographically speaking it's not been the best light; I'm always grateful for a splash of red or a spray of autumn leaves still clinging on. At least that cheers things up a bit.
Most of these pictures probably need no explanation... Leeds-Liverpool Canal, walking into Saltaire, New Mill on the left, Salts Mill on the right, and the Victorian stable block (above left and below) where the horses that pulled carriages and delivery carts used to be cared for.
You did well in capturing some colour and a generally quiet atmosphere during the few windows when it was possible.
ReplyDeleteIs the "Titus" offering canal tours for visitors? I can't read the signs on it, but naming it so is a nice touch.
Yes, it's a little tour boat. It doesn't go far, just up and down the canal a half a mile or so.
DeleteWelcome home…sorry about the weather. Do you get snow instead of rain in the winter? I do like the reflected pedestrian bridge and wonder if it’s still in use, thus wrapped up for the cold, and where does it start?
ReplyDeleteI mean the enclosed one.
DeleteThe bridge used to connect the two parts of the mill - Salts and the New Mill - when they were still used to make textiles. I don't know if it's still in use; I doubt it.
DeleteThe boats add a nice touch of colour to the season :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog
ReplyDeleteThe red pops nicely at this dull time of year.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect splashes of red!
