20090705 - Grinton Lead Smelting Mill

Grinton, Swaledale
view map

I thought I'd have a trundle round the old lead smelting mill at Grinton today.
This is taken from the chimney flue - quite a lot of the flue is intact and you can even crawl through it, if you're brave :o)

I wonder if this is one of the 'dark satanic' ones??
Maybe a night-time long-exposure with some orange lights....

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

Perfect image for those words.
Great work, Phillip.

Like the dark mood, the leaden skies are apt for the location then ;)

A very nice landscape composition of the Lead Mill Phillip. The sky was quite overcast today when I was over in Wensleydale, looks the same here. Great work...BV!!
