Another Day another walk

[ST1]

This set of images are from a family walk which took place on "Boxing Day" (the 26th December). The weather was rather foggy, though in some parts of the walk it could have been low cloud, certainly not a day to linger with photography in mind.

Given the conditions we only had a short walk to have a look at the remains of Rosedale East Ironstone mines. These mines were working from around 1860 to 1929, with the Iron Ore originally being transported by pack horses to a town called Pickering from there on by rail to the blast Furnaces.
Later a standard gauge railway was constructed to link the mines to the furnaces on Teeside and also in County Durham. Our walk was on a small part of the trackbed of the railway.

I hope you enjoy joining in on the short walk

Thank you for taking us on your walk with you! I really like all the images; however #1 is my favorite, it was perfectly timed!

The dogs vivid coat colors added so much to the foggy scenery. I also liked the "entrance" photo. Well done on all!

Thank you for the journey; very nice images....

Nice series, great use of color.

How wonderful to be with you in your walks lately...your finds are really marvelous. My favourites are #7 and 8 because in 7 the mysterious fog seems to bring the mood of the shot; #8 for the huge-ness of the place...as an aside, did you notice a person there in #7? Cute eh?

[Geoff F]

They all work well for me.

Another nice set Peter.

That's a fine set of shots. I think the fog added some interest and mood to some of the scenes. I have noticed that misty weather seems to make colors vivid, such as the reds and other colors in some of the images.

The first shot is cool way to give some life to a study of textures, Peter. I also like the mood and the lighting you have captured in 8 and 9.

OK Izzie you've got me, Ive looked and looked at #7 but...I can't see a person?


But I did find two ghost of Ironstone Miners walking in the opposite direction from our party. Can you see them

Carol thanks for looking and commenting, much appreciated.
I thought you may like to look at images that show the entrance as it was when the mine was working. The 4th and 5th images in the following link show the entrance as before and after scenes. Plus it wasn't foggy when those linked images were made LINK Enjoy
