Wigley Farm fields view to Castle Dyke Lodge 1

A view over the fields of Wigley Farm (extreme left) on the west side of Sheffield. I liked the soft light in the middle distance on this bright but hazy morning. The city centre is visible through the haze on the right of the photo.

The prominent house just right of centre is Castle Dyke Lodge, formerly Hoyle House on old Ordnance Survey maps. Just in front of the house, in the newly harvested and harrowed fields is a small, dry valley, possibly initiated as a melt-water stream at the end of the Devensian glacial period, but no longer having any flowing water, except as a smaller feeder to a pond in the grounds of Castle Dyke house, hidden in the trees.
