Urban meets Moor by shepherdmanswife

Urban meets Moor

up in the Yorkshire Dales. This is overlooking Saltaire. The sheep is happily grazing quietly whilst everything is busy below.
Saltaire Village is near Bradford in West Yorkshire, England. It is named after Sir Titus Salt who built a textile mill, known as Salts Mill and this village on the River Aire. Designed by architects, Lockwood and Mawson, Salts Mill was opened on Sir Titus Salt's 50th birthday, 20 September 1853. In December 2001, Saltaire was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Saltaire is not a monument. People live here - so it is open all the time!
Great shot - love the contradiction.

Fantastic juxtaposition. The sheep looks seriously out of place ... great shot!

Really cool juxtaposition. I like the perspective and how the sheep lines up with the road.

Great shot, excellent juxtaposition as people have already said. That sheep is making me hungry.

Wow that's so amazing. Those sheep are blissfully unaware

So many mills there were in England! Actually everywhere in the world, so its nice to know the city/town is still flourishing. This is a very high place and so good to see the clarity in the distance!

Cool shot

Love it, with the sheep so beautifully placed. Keep wondering where you took it from. Must explore.

Great juxtaposition!

Great positioning, really shows how high you are

I was just saying to someone the other day, that I could remember when you flew into Portland you came in over the cow pastures. It was such a lovely view. And this reminds me of those days. Particularly since you have a nice landing strip there. LOL
