Shadow Sunday: Moorside Place


On Hyde Daily Photo earlier this week I posted Homes by the Canal Turn, a view of the building work going on to construct an estate of new houses to be called "Moorside Place".

Just two years ago the site was covered by the old Automasters Factory. A year ago it was demolished.

Mo of Fresh Eyes on London asked "Is that shadow you?" so I've gone back to my original photograph and cropped out the shadow for you.

View more shadows this week at Hey Harriet.

  1. It's so wonderful to see the sun in any port, so soon it will be in the deep freeze here in the states, so thanks for the views!

    Enjoy your day!

  3. The shadow seems to be fitting here. The new will replace the old, but the shadow seems ti be reminiscing of the factory that stood upon the site once. But the sunny day is nice as we look to the future...

  5. It looks like all the warm English weather I experienced back in August/September has well and truly gone. Lovely shot.

  9. You put me in mind of a contemplative monk. Soon those cloisters will be replaced with 'new builds' presenting a different set of shadows.
