Such a beautiful summer morning in Saltaire yesterday... I started taking photos on my way to work and didn't want to stop and go inside! The light had that limpid quality that I remember from holidays in hotter climes, and the gentle warmth of the morning promised a wonderful day to come - and it didn't disappoint. The air was particularly clear and I liked the early sunshine on Salts Mill chimney. It really is a landmark, standing like a sentinel, watching over the village and mill. It's a shame that its ornate top piece had to be demolished some time ago, as it was unsafe. The verdant trees make this plain little alleyway look like a country lane.

I am sure that all the stone soaks up the excess heat. Let us hope that it gives it out again once this rare hot spell has passed.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful photograph. And that chimney is definitely a landmark.

ReplyDeleteWonderful!!So pleased to have found you.My ancestors on one side came from Saltaire so it is all precious to me.A few generations are buried out there on Wind Hill.
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a good area to go walking and photographing!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm glad the person in the portaloo didn't come out too - that would have been awkward!
Oh it makes me wonder what the ornate top looked like! Nice landmark though. ~Lili
