https://www.geograph.ie/photo/4740307
This was on day two of the 2 day course on dry stone walling. I learnt that we didn't have enough space to lay out all the stone we would need for doing our own wall.text/html2015-11-15T17:22:56+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/45755Nic Franklin-Woolley53.838873 -1.787363SE1438 : Approaching Salt Mill

On the longest day 2010, here was this glorious sunset with St Lawrence Church steeple just visible.text/html2010-06-22T16:21:49+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/45755Nic Franklin-Woolley53.410937 -1.392647SK4090 : Foxglove in Tinsley

Seen against a garden fence with no others nearby, I wondered how it got there?text/html2010-05-30T17:20:30+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/45755Nic Franklin-Woolley53.410848 -1.392949SK4090 : Baby spiders at Tinsley

They were there for a few days then none left at all. Food chain benefits for something.text/html2010-05-30T16:50:22+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/45755Nic Franklin-Woolley53.404998 -1.409428SK3989 : Lock gate overflow at Tinsley canal
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1885466
Usual at this time of year to see water going over the tops of the lock gates. Lucky really, as maintaining water levels in some parts of the canal system means restrictions on boats going through, or indeed none going through at all.text/html2010-05-21T12:56:44+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/45755Nic Franklin-Woolley53.407692 -1.408789SK3990 : Getting more light to Tinsley towpath

Hopefully more towns and cities will renovate and re-open their canals. This long spur of canal is due to be dredged, but only after campaigners insisted work was required. They pointed out how shallow it had become, needed to be surveyed and pushed for funding from British Waterways, who are now due to become a charity, with implications for their own funds. With luck, this will lead to a successful working relationship between volunteers and the paid staff, as well as opening up the canal network for us all to enjoy.text/html2010-05-21T12:32:15+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/45755Nic Franklin-Woolley53.412160 -1.403612SK3990 : Derelict garage

Where is the vegetation to produce oxygen? Where are the footpaths so I and other residents can get to the river and the canal? Where will all the building dust go apart from in my lungs?text/html2010-05-14T12:47:58+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/45755Nic Franklin-Woolley53.416812 -1.399184SK4091 : New office blocks, Sheffield Rd, Tinsley
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1856730
Some plants are just visible and have been put along the pavement on Sheffield Road. This is the only sign I have seen of any vegetation being replaced within Tinsley. Many residents and work places do all they can to concrete over gardens for car parking or 'low maintenance' gardens - gravel.text/html2010-05-14T12:37:43+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/45755Nic Franklin-Woolley53.420603 -1.384534SK4191 : New build from Sheffield Rd, Tinsley
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1856713
For those who can't wait to climb the walls about their new job, this office block comes ready equipped for just those employees. At least the architect and planners had a sense of humour but where is the vegetation? Perhaps they don't need oxygen. More cement and building dust for Tinsley as if we didn't need it.
