I am so lucky to have a shortcut to work that takes me through some lovely countryside.
If I see something interesting (like these clouds) I have a few field entrances to pull into to capture an image.
I have to cross over the M6 Motorway on my journey into Manchester.
When I took this image the traffic was lighter than usual.
It's not unusual to see standing traffic due to a road accident.
The tree I have been sharing since last autumn is just stared to leaf.
This image was taken this evening.
This image was taken this evening.
It's in a great setting for capture a landscape shot... on the brow of a hill and the only tree in the field.
The field unfortunately is almost alongside the M6... the drone of road noise is always there.
Sorry for spoiling the magic of the place.

love those big puffy clouds! glad you get some marvelous scenery to and fro work.
Yep, the clouds that keeps on, and on and on. My favourite is the last one, I'll lays bets on, that everyone has now will know that tree, superb.
What a pretty commute you have.
All beautiful shots. It's funny to see the traffic direction on the opposite sides of the road that we are used to.
Nice shots and love the tree.
I always enjoy seeing those big, puffy white clouds, Andrew! Such lovely skies and I, too, love that tree!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Great cotton candy clouds!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
How lucky you are on your commute! I absolutely adore that second shot!
Hi Andrew, a cracking set of photos. And a lovely walk to work.
I hope you have been well? i have not been on for a while as life got a little hectic of late.
Take it easy

Such lovely views of your world! The tree has a kind of enchanting, lonely identity!
Beautiful sceneries :)
such a majestic tree!!!
I would use your short cut too! No more rattlesnake posts this year. (that is not a promise)
I agree about the clouds Andrew - these are such lovely photos and the countrysidenear you is a great setting for those 'skyscapes'. Thanks so much
for sharing.
Wonderful series! You do have a lovely view. The tree is my favorite shot. Happy skywatching!
the first two are absolutely breath taking. i love that sky, looks like i could reach in and touch it.
...you are lucky to have this as your walking route to work! That first photo is postcard perfect. I love the sweeping view...
What a lovely commute you have to work, and these clouds are awesome... also love that tree
Beautiful shots of the place.
I think your drive to work looks better than the M6!
I used to have to do 40 minutes each way on that car park when I lived in the South Lakes. There are some things I don’t miss!
Really like watching the tree change as well.

I would enjoy that journey too if I were you!
Sunlight Cross, have a great weekend!
Great looking countryside, no wonder you prefer that route rather than the motorway. That tree is fabulous.
The photo of the M6 looks backwards with the cars on the opposite side of what I normally see...BUT the heavy traffic looks very familiar could be any US Interstate Hwy. I always enjoy the back roads!!!
Beautiful cloud formations, especially on the top shot contrasting with the lovely green.
Excellent images Andrew (shame the M6 got in the way though!!). Love that tree...[;o)
Oh, those incredible clouds! Beautiful countryside and even the freeway gives you a lovely view.
p.s. Your mother and aunt's young photos are delightful!
What an exquisite country side!
The tree is looking good Andrew, I knew it wouldn't be long before it started greening up.
Well of course the magic of virtual nature is that we get to enjoy that wonderful tree without all the distractions of noise and traffic. Looks like spring on your commute.
Beautiful Andrew, really, really beautiful!
