Alden Brook Culvert, Helmshore - Jun 2009

[CHEWY]

This little culvert carries Alden Brook underground for around 247Metres.

Stone arch design all the way through with not many features except the odd small pipe and a couple of supports.

Thanks Cactus

my light was dying fast, so had to rush the pics a bit.
i like to go up, then back through again
you can see the more orangey lit pics as the light was fading.

only saw this one on a map last night, so checked it out after Countdown

Love the mossy, bosky feel to your pics...superb ones as always, Chewy.
Bricks, ferns and waterfalls...what more could you want?

I like.

Some lovely stonework in there - it reminds me of the drystone walling in some lead mines round here.
The greenery and "lush" feel to the place makes it seem like a great place to visit on a (too) hot summers day.

A lovely culvert. Thanks for posting.

Very nice culvert!
What camera/effect do you use, I like the "dirty" look to your pictures

Thanks All

i thought this would be a lot smaller with the look of the stream before i got to the culvert.
nice suprise when i got to where i took the first pic and that sight greeted me
the waterfall was an added bonus too.

i just add a bit of ""clarify", then some "edge" using Paintshop Pro X2 James
my camera sensor filter (Canon 400D) is scratched to hell (why i got it so cheap )
adding the above rids the pics of the scratches in 2 clicks.
i could spend time cloning them out, but it'd take ages to sort
