Having been blogging for almost nine years, there is little in Saltaire and the surrounding area that has escaped my lens. Indeed, I think regular readers know it as well as I do now! So I'm always looking for new angles and I don't think I've ever posted a photo of this view before. It is taken just beyond the western boundary wall of Roberts Park, looking south-west. The River Aire's course, on the left edge of the picture, runs parallel to the line of trees, so the lower grassy area is its flood plain (and was inundated, almost up to the houses, in the big flood of 2015). The houses are part of the Higher Coach Road development, originally built as social housing in the 1950s.
Like Thoreau, who said he had traveled much in Walden, you have done the same with Saltaire and we are the richer for it.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful view.
ReplyDeleteOne can go wide or deep. And you've been going deep, to our benefit.
