Greenery and Industry Together
Hi Guys
Out and about this morning to Errington Woods with Faye of course (10 minutes from home).
Thought some of the photo's show how local heavy industry dominates the area but coincides closely with the countryside.
I can see your house from here, well Mike's anyway - possibly - maybe -

Hi Andy
Reminds me of the kind of scenery juxtaposition you get in and around Grangemouth in Scotland.

I suppose you could transpose either of the big industrial estuary’s, Teesport and Grangmouth and they would look the same.
Lived in this area all my life, I think it shows the good and the bad of the area. Though it has been massively hit hard with the recession and all.

Nice photos, by the way Andy.
The foreground in the first photo typifies what I love about the British countryside, very rarely spectacular, but somehow really beautiful in it's gentle rolling mosaic of fields & woods. A completely man-made landscape and stunning by accident!

I want one, looks like great fun.
Talk about de-forestation, I could lay to waste the whole of Cleveland with that.
Mind you, not too sure if anyone would notice the difference
Cheers for the comments Chris

Oh, btw, the pics are great Andy! Thanks for taking on the industrial landscape theme. If you can get any more shots from inside or near where you work like you did before that would be great

How bizarre - I recognise the second photo because, give or take a few hundred yards, that's where a workmate of mine always goes to test any new camera or lens he's bought, in particular using long lenses to focus in on the estate (where he lives as well!). Tis a small world!
