Flint Kilns

Lovely photo of the railway cottages...that bit of bright colour together with the reflections. I'd love to see that same view in the different seasons...

Can you get any closer to the kilns, and is there anything else to see..?

 

[Dave Moss]

You can walk right up to the kilns I have even been on top of them as for the railway cottages if I was to look through I think i have taken them most times of year I would love to get a shot of them in the snow but getting down to them would be a problem I will have a look through later

The cottage looks a lot better with a paint job.....and to have the steam trains going past...I think I'll move...
Those kilns definitely look interesting too...

Nice one Dave - I love the same scenes compared through the seasons - very interesting to see how much everything changes

Place even got painted!

The contrast of the natural environment and the industrial revolution makes for great photos - can't beat canals and railways in the same shot!

I keep popping in here and having another look Dave, I think this would make a great project through the seasons at different times of the day too. As Chris says it is good comparing shots from the same locations...keep at it

what a great idea Dave, also a great set of images here

WOW that's a truly beautiful photo Dave, one defo to be proud of, it kinda looks like your peeking through the trees & undergrowth and found this truly stunning & typically English country scene.

Great Work
