I think I prefer the vertical composition. A little more ominous feel that goes well with the old gas works.

Love these smoketree leaves - every one is so different!
The species (Cotinus coggygria) is also called dyer's sumach and has been used to make red dyes for textiles in the Middle East. During World War I, the Turkish army had uniforms and tents dyed with it, whereby both leaves and shoots were used, which contain tannins and produce a brown dye.
A yellow dye (called young fustic) can be extracted from the wood of Cotinus coggygria – this was highly valued in the Middle Ages. Pliny the Elder recorded that dyer's sumac was used in antiquity to dye leather.
Today, it is predominantly grown for its clouds of delicate flowers and the fiery autumn colours...

The ruins of an abandoned cement works in Alsen, NY. This was a quick stop as I didn't want to risk ticks and hurting my knees in the overgrowth. Also, I got this close because a gate was open that allowed me to cross the tracks. A track crew was nearby and I did not want to get locked in.

A disused Iron Works near Mells in Somerset. Well worth a visit, even if only to have lunch at the nearby Mells post office. The Ironworks was shutdown in 1895 and is being takenback into nature by the trees and plants.
The buildings are also home to horseshoe bats so the whole area is designated a SSSI.
56111 at Doncaster Works on 17th October 1982, just over a week before it was accepted into traffic.
56111 was part of batch 1510, of this batch 56091-115 were built at Doncaster, with the remainder to 56135 built at Crewe. My dad also saw 56112, in undercoat on this day, whilst 56113-115 were all nearing completion inside the works, after this Doncaster ceased building Class 56's, instead focusing on building 58's.
56111 would enter traffic on 24th October 1982, one of just three members of the class to enter traffic directly to Healey Mills, the others being 56110, on 3rd October 1982 and 56108 on 20th June.
Although 56111 did not officially enter traffic until 24/10, it was working off Healey Mills on Friday 22nd October when my dad observed it heading east through Featherstone with a loaded MGR train at 07:35.
56111's stint at Healey Mills wouldn't last and it would transfer to Tinsley during May 1983, remaining there until early 1987.
