Snows Of Yesteryear

[poliphilo]

 

I thought I'd dig around in the archive and find some pics to remind me that I've lived in colder places than the one I live in now These were all taken in Oldham about 20 years ago. The first one shows a street scene I can't place exactly.  The Live and Let Live was notoriously a haunt of far right terror groups and got trashed in the Oldham riots. It later re-opened as an Asian dress shop. Ha!  This shows the carriage house (as was) across the road from our house in Hathershaw. I always thought it was visually interesting. This one is taken on a long lens looking towards the Pennine moors. Today we live in the lee of the South Downs- which are comparatively friendly. The Pennines aren't friendly at all And here's a taxi with a sunny message at rest by the railings of Alexandra Park

Great pics.

The Shropshire hills also have their moments. We're under snow at present.

Thanks.

We had hail and sleet yesterday morning, but only for fifteen minutes or so....
