Thanks Helen.A very poignant shot of your local area. Good luck with the 52.
To me, it’s important we don’t lose these memories. This memorial was only put there a few years ago and despite it being a bit out of the way, it’s been respected so far.A sad reminder and a very poignant shot indeed. We have a memorial here for the 167 men in the Piper A disaster. I worked on that platform for 4 years but left only a few years before the accident.
Thanks Kell,I like that. I like how you've incorporated a little more meaning in to the shot rather than just a picture of where you live.
I'm also from a mining town (Ashington, Northumberland) so it has a little more resonance for me.
Thanks Graham. Yes, I think the numbers are the ages.Nice shot - guessing the numbers are the ages of the miners. Makes it even more sad.
Nicely framed and like the reflection of the sky in the memorial as well.
Thanks Simon. There were too many here in S.Yorkshire too.A lovely poignant shot Pete. Too many of these type of disasters happened. I'm not that far here in South Wales from Senghenydd where over 500 lost their lives in two separate disasters at the start of the 20th century (81 in 1901 and then 439 in 1913).
Thanks Andrea.A sad but well-kept memorial and I like the reflections in the shiny marble. Good luck with your 52.
Thanks Allan. I totally agree with you.Nice start to your 52 people who die in these circumstances should never be forgotten
Thanks Graham.Works well. Nice bright day, and spot on for the theme
Thanks Stuart. I agree with all your sentiments re. risky jobs.Your area - Zoomed in on the photo and was shocked to see one of the names is showing as only 15! There is many jobs undertaken with an inherent level of risk we should all be grateful that people are willing to undertake.
Incomplete - The composition works well with plenty of interest.
Thanks Bill. It was torn down during the Reformation when HenryVIII formed the Church of England. The monasteries were a reminder of the power of the Cathloic Church.That's a nice image Pete. Was the abbey torn down in 1538 or did it collapse for some other reason?
Thanks Simon - much appreciated.Nice incomplete shot Pete. I like how the structure and shadows lead you from left to right (for me anyway)!
Thanks Helen,Brrr... you've certainly captured the freezing fog. A simple but very effective composition.
Thanks Peter.Looks cold Peter. I suppose everything modified by man is artificial to some extent.
Thanks Stan.A simple and very atmospheric image. Fit the theme.
Therein lies a number of debatable issues.Artificial or just ruined? Or both? Nice take on the theme![]()

Thanks Bill, much appreciatedAn artificial landscape! Great take on the theme. I like the foggy, soft feel of the image.
Thanks Alison.frost and fog very pretty
Much appreciated Simon.Thats a lovely image Pete
Thanks BillNice one Pete, I like it.
Thanks Allan. I agree it does look a bit floaty.Interesting item though I think it needs to be sitting on something
