The Sun Rising - John Donne
Busie old foole, unruly Sunne,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windowes, and through curtaines call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?
Sawcy pedantique wretch, goe chide
Late schoole boyes, and sowre prentices,
Goe tell Court-huntsmen, that the King will ride,
Call countrey ants to harvest offices;
Love, all alike, no season knowes, nor clyme,
Nor houres, dayes, moneths, which are the rags of time.
Thou sunne art halfe as happy'as wee,
In that the world's contracted thus;
Thine age askes ease, and since thy duties bee
To warme the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art every where;
This bed thy center is, these walls, thy spheare.

This abandoned railway tunnel runs beneath Follifoot Ridge in North Yorkshire. It was opened as an extension to an existing line in 1858 by the Leeds & Thirsk Railway company in order to provide a link to Wetherby from their Harrogate to Leeds line. I've never explored one of these forgotten tunnels before and found the experience to be a fascinating one with a whole new range of challenges for the photographer! Such spots are full of moody atmosphere which is enhanced by the drop in temperature as you stand at the tunnel mouth looking into the darkness.

“The Mission School Church at Islington is an unpretentious wooden structure capable of seating about 150 persons. Although small, it is perhaps large enough to satisfy the present wants of the population, while the debt incurred is correspondingly small. In accordance with his usual custom in naming the Churches of the Suburban Mission the Islington structure was named after one of the old saints who did so much for the Christianizing of one or other of the British Isles in the early days of their history, the little building was dedicated to St. Ninian, a noble Briton, who laboured amongst the Picts about the end of the fourth century.” [Register 2 Feb 1885]
