Very true! I feel sorry for those poor southerners, living in such a barren and unattractive part of the country.

You could move to the hallowed North - its much more aesthetically pleasing than the South. Every day when I head home I see the dark bulk of the Pennines guarding the city like a protective arm, and it always make me happy. And I know I can out in the hills in less than an hour whenever I want.

Here are three shots I took almost 11 years ago (December 2002) from where I used to work, a few miles from the city centre looking towards the Pennines on the horizon. There were taken at dawn, and I was stood on the roof of the office car park and it was bloody freezing, so they are a bit blurry. But they show the Pennines that you see every day in Manchester.
Looking roughly ESE...dawn just thinking whether to bother getting up.
A bit lighter, looking at the city centre.
And a bit lighter still, this time looking roughly ESE again.
I used to love working in that office, and always made sure I got in early in winter so I could watch dawns like this break over the hills.

I shamefully purchased the Sunday Times today and a column linked them to dark satanic mills ruining the countryside. I suspect the author lived in London. I feel bad for buying the paper. This is Blackpool already posted on Mundane Pics of the North but a good pic for a snapshot out of a car on a phone..

I've always liked windfarms - something elegant about them, and they fit the working landscape of the Pennines. A damn site more attractive than power stations and electricity pylons at any rate. And dark satanic mills are lovely too - bloody Sunday Times. Pah, they know nowt.
