Setting sun on the remaining trees discloses what the powers call progress. This is clearing for a road that borders a large park in the city of Wasilla, Alaska. The clearing cuts off a number of trails where I walked the dogs and was amazed that we had such a place in a densely populated area. Soon to be a paved road with traffic zooming by and new housing developments. The price for progress in a rapidly growing area. I guess we should enjoy what we have while we can as there is no going back. Sorry to rant and thanks for your visit!

Work in progress.

Have a joyful week ahead ;-))

The island of Island Pond here is getting eroded away, and this fallen tree was once on solid ground. It makes a nice background for the fishing egret while it lasts.

Maybe wider by the minute . . . We knew when we rescued her that it was likely kittens were on the way. Holly is thriving and very happy to be safe here with us! We love her and can manage whatever comes! ❤️

Please help others spay/neuter and assist the cat population from despair.

No more visiting the Kodak counter in the drug store.

Progress

This art piece quite surprised and amused me after I was able to process the whole image in my head!!!! I couldn’t find the description for it, but I think it describes the human nature and its consequences very very nicely!!

Enjoy your week friends, thank you for your visit :))

The Viaducts, Castlefield, Manchester

A trip into Manchester last Friday to meetup with Eddie Coulson. No particular plan in mind other than a catchup and to take a few snaps. There’s a new entertainment complex being built on the site of the old Coronation St set within the Granada Studios complex, which now resides at Salford Quays. This new entertainment venue is due to open June 2023 so I thought we could wander down there and see how its progressing. Unfortunately, you can’t get anywhere near the site, let alone take pictures – that will have to wait until June now.

It's only a short walk to Castlefield so we ventured there. It’s been a few years since I last visited and I’m sorry to say the place looks awful now. Yes, there was graffiti then, but now it’s everywhere… the place looks like a sh**hole and to say that this was Britain’s first Urban Heritage Park.

I have finally broken the paints out!! Thought I should record it at this stage, in case I ruin it when I go in to finish it....Sort of inspired by Georgia O'Keefe

Smoothened quite a bit for a more glossy look.

Seems like a fun picture to look at! :-)

Lots of development work in progress at my backyard. Everyday there is a new scene.

Until the 1970s, the zinc smelter at Odda, Norway, on the shores of the Sørfjorden fjord, discharged industrial wastewater into the fjord, making it one of the most heavily metal-contaminated marine environments in the world.

After a decades-long clean-up, the fjord is back to pre-industrial conditions. Part of the smelter is now a museum, the rest demolished or left.

Another upload from the outing to Castlefield last week, looking up the Rochdale Canal towards the Beetham Tower. I called this 'Progress' as you can see the development from canals to railways and from the scale of the buildings.
