Suddenly the view opens out and we can gaze across the Aire Valley towards Baildon. In the foreground is the Leeds-Liverpool Canal and beyond that the River Aire is just visible. There is a new industrial park being built on the Otley Road. I'm not sure that the modern, grey metal buildings enhance the view! I prefer Sir Titus's vision of honeyed stone for his mills.
We cross the Canal over a little swing bridge. Further on there's a long metal bridge over the river and it's flood plain. All those struts make attractive patterns in the sunshine.
love the last shot
ReplyDeleteIs there an attractive industrial park anywhere? I've always loved the architecture of the canals, though I didn't realise till recently that all those curves and flowing lines were simply to prevent the ropes of the horse-drawn barges getting snagged.
ReplyDeleteThat second bridge is quite a beautiful sight!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice walk that seems to be!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love that last shot of the metal bridge!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of the green bridge!
