I’ll get the ball rolling. After much deliberation, I’ve decided on a video entry.
This is, as the title suggests, is the old A625, Mam Tor Road.
From Wikipedia: This section of the road was first constructed in 1819 by the Sheffield & Chapel-en-le-Frith Turnpike Company using spoil from the nearby Odin Mine. It replaced a much earlier, ancient packhorse route, running through the Winnats Pass. Also known locally as “The New Road”, the new section was set at an easier gradient than the earlier Winnats Pass route and crossed the Mam Tor landslide. As a result of further movement of the Mam Tor landslide, major road works were required in 1912, 1933, 1946, 1952 and 1966. On the last occasion, the road was closed for six weeks. In 1974 large parts of the Mam Tor section collapsed during a massive landslide. Additional road works were carried out regularly, when wet years led to further landslides. Finally, the Mam Tor section of the road was abandoned in 1979.
I did do a hyper lapse, but it’s cropped it awfully and because 1st hyper lapse with this drone, hadn’t adjusted settings to keep the saved pictures for manual processing!
Sorry to interrupt while you are all busy searching out stunning roads to photograph but could you please spare a moment to vote for the subject of the competition to follow this one - linky thing
Building site in Fleckney, Leicestershire off of Leicester Road where I live. Taken about 3 in the afternoon 23/06/2022 with the Mini 2. This was literally taken about half an hour after the tarmac had been laid, I was hoping to get a shot as it was being done but I just missed it. I took off and landed in the local park.
I was hoping to get red fields of poppies but from anything higher than 2 metres they just looked like my overgrown garden, so got a red motorbike Instead
