Silent night
All is peaceful on Albert Terrace in Saltaire. The scene on this cobbled street at night probably looks little different from how it looked when it was first built in 1854. That's kind of comforting, I feel.
OK, some purist will point out that the lamps used to be gas and the mill chimney used to have a fancy top... but never mind! The sepia toning is entirely natural.

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny .. I love this photo - and your 'take' on life over the +/- 160 year period ... the sepia toning is just lovely ..
ReplyDeleteHappy 2013 - cheers Hilary
Comforting to me too...I'm not always very accepting of change.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent, jennyfreckles. Well worth a quiet walk in the evening.
ReplyDeleteA lovely, moody, night shot.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Christmas, Jenny.
ReplyDeleteOh Jenny that is so magical and I adore that one would be hard pressed to determine in which decade it may have been taken. I've come to enjoy a block of your beautiful images. I am long overdue!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Hoping your Christmas was filled with joy!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous photo and it does look like its out of a history book.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful night shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture, full of atmosphere !
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! Have a great new year Jenny!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I DO like this shot! I half expect a heavy mist to envelop the scene and for Sherlock Holmes to appear! Happy New Year to you Jenny and many thanks for the insights on Saltaire you've given during 2012. Enjoy your period of rejuvenation and refreshment and look forward to your images again when you're ready.
