I guess I'm not alone in finding this time of year quite difficult. Everywhere looks so drab, and it's so cold and damp. I have to use willpower to make myself go out and I'm certainly not inspired photographically when there is little 'good' light. This classic view of Salts Mill's vast south frontage, seen from the Victoria Road allotments, is one I can easily take for granted. Familiarity means we forget how mind-blowing the huge mill really is. The West and East Mills, the parts you can see here, are just a fraction of it. Some of these huge rooms once held the spinning machines, and are now art galleries and shops.
It can indeed look all rather drab, and when nothing much pulls us outdoors, there are no photo opportunities, as you saw on my current post about my almost walkless week.
ReplyDeleteYour classic view is great, though, no matter the time of year or day!
Yes, grey is all around, but then there's also the solid brick and stone and glass...and your knowing some of what is behind all that expanse of wall.
ReplyDeleteI went for a walk yesterday but it was too cold to take my gloves foo to take any pics. It was -20˚C here this morning.
