Clipstone Colliery ~ 5

On tuesday we took a trip to see Clipstone Colliery up close.

There is a huge perimiter fence around the place, but I managed to get a couple of shots through the fence to post in my 2 main albums for the days shots.

After these shots we popped to Rufford Abbey. We had never been before, but it is a lovely place, with lts of photo opps among the old buildings (watch this space), some great statues in the park, and a lovely array of craft shops. I was lucky to see an exhibition of a local photographer called Helen Platt-Hawkins who was in attendance, so we had an enjoyable chat about photography and I bought a very good print of hers.

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Cool clouds!

[Charlotte]

Love the strong contrast in the sky and the composition. Your last few photos you've uploaded have all been great.

[Claire]

Great photo and a fav. Love the composition of this and the sky is fantastic.

[Ivan]

Great image, super comp., love the clouds, Sean. Fav!

[Lionel]

That's a sky !

[Ross Walker]

I like this much better than the vertical. The sky is just as dramatic, and doesn't overwhelm the machinery. Super B&W subject. Another fav.

[Cazla]

The sky almost looks like its about to start swirling round the machinery.

[Andy Roe]

Brilliant detail - love the wide angle lens effect.
I've been to Rufford a few times; you're right about the photo opportunities and the craft shops!!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Awesome sky!

[David]

I love the juxtaposition of the industrial and the rural (I briefly lived in Eastwood, Notts and now wish I was more into photography back then)
