So I've been taking quite a few photography walks round the countryside near my house recently, having never really explored it since moving here a few years ago. It inspired this photo-poetry montage below, based on the experiences and emotions it all conjured up!
Daylight fades over the peaceful countryside
Creeping over the horizon's sanctuary
The glow of sunset fades over us,
As the light shatters on the glistening fields,
Standing side by side,
We search forward for an adventure,
Crossing bridges towards darkness,
The scenery starts to turn to grey,
As the storm clouds roll in,
Nature's limbs trembling with the growing storm,
Idyllic green twists to rusted industrial,
As the stormy winds build up to darkness,
And we run for shelter from the rain.

Real nice. Your landscapes where you live are very similar to ours here in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Our landscape is just a bit more rolling, rolling hills.

Reminds me of a English summer's day. Lots of the same trees and colours you have there. I do love all the place names you have - Chester and Bradford are very famous bleak, northern cities in England. I imagine settlers in your area came from Northern England originally? Chester even has its own soap opera here! http://www.e4.com/hollyoaks/index.html
Poetry through and through. I love the diptych way you presented your photos...really beautiful...
What a pretty area you live in, away from the hustle and bustle of a big city - though that might not be so far distant from you. I enjoyed the visit and your poetry.
