Rain, rain, rain ...

... and not only that, but dark as well. I've heard about theories of global dimming, and on days like this I wonder if they are true. Today I wondered if it was worth taking the camera out with me, but then stuffed it in my pocket all the same, and captured a few images.



First up, we have a view up Halfpenny Lane from the "ramp" that connects it with King Street and Love Lane.



Here we have a few little flowers growing out of a wall, which I would not have thought would be their ideal habitat. Well, it just goes to show, life can thrive in the oddest of places.



Finally, I thought I would throw in yet another view of Pontefract's ubiquitous sandstone crags and cliffs, most likely formed through quarrying and road building in the past. These are some of the highest and most dramatic, and are near Halfpenny Lane. I don't think I would like to live in the little house perched at the top.
