Got the vibes of a Pentti Sammallahti photograph. I'm feeling isolation but not in a bad way. Great image, if I may say so.

Silhouette of the Redcar blastfurnace. Almost cleared away now, just the hearth remains. The furnace is reflected in a roadside puddle

After a bit of doing nothing in particular , here is an old image of the Redcar blastfurnace just before they blew it up, or down !

A slope in the countryside where a tree plantation has been cut down, leaving just the stumps that have been bleached in the sun. The stumps are in stark contrast with the darker vegetation, the sky is a uniform grey with no definition.

The glow in the sky as the sun is rising on the summer solstice. The moon is still present above the ancient burial mounds on the far Moor. A view from Roseberry Topping with no one around, no bird song just a dog barking in the farm below.

The solstice sun rises, taken from the summit of Roseberry Topping in the County of Yorkshire, England. A man sits in silhouette, having recorded the sunrise for himself.

Thanks, usually images of Middlesbrough have rubble where the terraces once where, this is how I remembered the cleared streets.
