Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile factories of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1784, the cotton mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. Quarry Bank Mill was established by Samuel Greg, and was notable for innovations both in machinery and also in its approach to labour relations, the latter largely as a result of the work of Greg's wife, Hannah Lightbody. The family took a somewhat paternalistic attitude toward the workers, providing medical care for all and limited education to the children, but all laboured roughly 72 hours per week until 1847 when a new law shortened the hours.

It was a calm and beautiful evening for a walk, and unusually warm for the end of September. What a treat!
It's been a while since I've posted but I decided to follow my mantra "If I like it, post it, and don't debate it to death." So here we are.
i was just looking through the glass, and somehow he looked back through the wall. maybe the silence was louder than the neon. maybe he wasn’t even there.

he sits where light fractures into patterns, where shadow becomes architecture. the hat shields more than his face - it holds the weight of thoughts we cannot see. concrete steps become a throne for contemplation, each line of light a question mark across his silence. in this intersection of elegance and emptiness, he writes poetry with his stillness. sometimes the most profound conversations are the ones we have with ourselves.

Near Leadville, CO, the Aspen are gone from this area, because we are too high. So, sidelight and clouds make the scene instead.
I was asked a few days ago what I considered to be more important, the journey or the destination.
My reply was that it is the company, the people you travel with, that's the most important.
I don't think I need to introduce the location, but here's some technical info:

the station smelled of metal and dust. she sat alone, her bags beside her, adjusting the strap of her coat. a plastic bottle in one hand. her eyes fixed on nothing. above her, a sign whispered of knowledge and prestige. she didn't look up.
"Conformity"
Around sunset, I was walking towards a nature park with my camera when I spotted this repetitive architectural design with striking shadows hitting the walls. It suggested to me the struggles with striving for conformity while cast in the shadows of lost independence. Getting a good angle to highlight the repetitive design was a bit tricky, but ultimately I went with this angle.
