Description

Rooley Moor road, Rochdale Lancashire UK. This view looks towards Rochdale town centre. Viewed full size-Town flats are visible locally know as the seven sisters. Behind me this old cobbled road ends here and all you can see is moorland and electricity pylons. Taken June 12 2008 Searching through hundreds of pictures of ANYTHING so I thought I'd post something different today. Thanks for dropping by.

An amazing thing! I presume no vehicles are allowed on it, or it would get spoiled quickly. This is a super pic, Alan!

Great perspective and way to lead the eye and add depth to the capture. I am amazed by these old roads and how solid they are.

Superb shot and wonderful POV! Beachzz beat me to it, if the bricks were yellow, I'd say that was the Emerald City ahead!

Isn't this is an old Roman road? If so, then it dates back to as least 495 A.D.

I have spent many happy hours up there Alan both working and playing radio. Wagons and tractors still use the road it leads up to an abandoned stone quarry that they want to reopen. Now that they have the windfarm up there, there is every chance they will be allowed to open in when they next apply. A precedent has been set now, by allowing the turbines to be built. Originally the road went all the way over to bacup, I tried going through in my car once but was forced to turn round after a couple of miles due to the road being dangerous. Excellent capture, I have a few similar to this but not as wide angle, I have been toying with going up to the end of the cobbles for a panoramic shoot. Also to the top of Blackstone Edge and Windy Hill. Superb work with this one mate. Bravo!!!!!

Great photo with so much detail, excellent POV, if I hadn't opened it up full I wouldn't have seen the grazer at the side of the road!

Follow the yellow brick road... only with air quality today I see that the road has aquired a bit of dingy grime... Stellar view. I love the way the brick road leads you without making a big deal out of it. A pleasant trip...

I like the way the eye is taken to the far distance having first picked up the cobbles. And excellent shot. (Now all I need to do is to add some scantily clad elvish warriors to walk down that road on the way to a far off battle!) 5++ Dave
