Ingleton and its Viaduct

A fab shot Herb. I love a viaduct! This reminds me of a village in Somerset, on the way to Bristol, called Pensford. Take care & have a good weekend. Rosa.

Thanks Rosa. Glad you enjoyed this. There are a few of these viaducts round still but this view is particularly pleasing. I don't know Pensford at all.

Take care and enjoy Sunday. Herb

Admirable... Bon weekend.

Thanks Malik.

Take care.

Nice view of the viaduct Herb I have not got a photo of this viaduct will have to put that right some time ???.

HaHa and I am sure you will have passed near it a few times. I have some other snaps of this too that I may share on my other sites.

Take care. Herb

This looks fantastic viewed large......................The light, especially where it reflects off the tiled roofs and the stonework on the viaduct is beautiful.

A superbly composed and detailed image, with a lovely old-fashioned look! Very nicely captured Herb.

Made for large viewing Keith, as you know. This looked nice in situ too. Like you, I too like dthe light on this view. So gald you enjoyed it.

Regards and take care. Herb

For a moment i thought it was Todmorden... cracking shot Herb

It does have a look of Todmorden for sure Richard.

Cheers for the visit.

A great view and a lovely shot Herb. I love the viaduct and the way the little houses nestle around the base.

Sp glad you saw in this what I too saw Carol. We have a viaduct over at Uppermill only a few miles from my home but I can never get the best place to photograph that from. I must have another go.

Take care. Herb

Moin,
ich glaube dort lässt es sich gut wohnen.
Tolle Aufnahme.

Super shot, this image really highlights whyat a massive structure the viaduct is when compared with the surrounding buildings.

Indeed Maurice. From here it dominated the landscape for sure. Glad you liked it.

Hi Herb,

I like this very much!!
As others have said, the slate roofs, the old streetlamp, and the lighting really make this picture!

I know the railway vanished a long time ago, but let us imagine how this would look with a steam hauled freight train crossing the viaduct, belching smoke into an already polluted atmosphere!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter. An olde Worlde capture almost. I have a mono that makes it look more authentic still but I thought this one was enough here. I did wonder as I took this, whichrailway ran on top, as the two lines that I knew, both ran some way away from here and in different directions. After reading most of the info in my intro link, and being reminded by your comment, I realise that this is another of those relic trackless lines of long ago - a great pity. As you say it must have been a sight when the steam engines tugged across. The track pulled up in 1967.

Have a good and safe week. Herb

This looks very much like the sturdy viaducts we (well, "they") have in Switzerland, two of them in my hometown for the railway leading to a tunnel. Well captured here!

Thanks Sarah. Indeed Switzerland has and had many great bridges and viaducts besides their famous tunnels. Most a memory now but thankfully some, like this, still standing and persevered.

Keep safe. Herb
