This street in the village of Saltaire, near bradford is perhaps one of the least changed over the last 150 years. Apart from the yellow parking lines, it is I guess pretty much as it would have been in 1850. Behind the railings lies the railway station and in the distance is a chimney from Salts mill.
In truth it took me a while to get this photo with no car in it, Saltaire today is quite urban and the people that live here mostly own cars and so do the many visitors.

I've been trying to nick that shot for over ten years now - you're extremely lucky to get it without any cars in sight.
ReplyDeleteI recognize the situation of having to wait for there to be no cars or people in some pictures. It's was worth the wait for this one I think. Could easily have been long ago.
ReplyDeleteVery nice composition in this shot Paul! It was definitely worth the wait for the cars to not be there.
ReplyDeleteGod that's gorgeous. So Northern. I love it.
