Two views from my studio space taken on Friday with a gap of a few hours between shots. The murky morning turned into a more pleasant if very cold afternoon.
Feeling a little bit sad that the view has been curtailed since then by the installation of our new studio stairs, but on the other hand I've gained a new wall to hang work on and there's still plenty of light coming in from the high window.
Fortunately I can still see Nutclough Mill from my space, I just have to move to a more specific spot to get the angle right. For 14 years I had a view of Nutclough from the other side, from my rented house, actually one of the original mill workers dwellings.
During that time I took loads of photos of the mill from my kitchen window, in all kinds of weathers and at different times of the day. I'd like to put together a selection for this blog, but will have to digitise them first as they were all taken on film. A project for the new year I think.
Its strange how certain buildings seem to follow you around - even though they're totally anchored of course. When I moved from Nutclough City Limits (as we used to call it) I thought thats it I'll never gaze on the mill in the same way, but here I am a few years later still staring.
