Trooper's Hill

Click to embiggen - Comment at flickr.com

Photoblog: 13 Jul 2007

Bristol's geology is of the clay Avon valley and the limestone of the Mendips to the south, Cotswolds to the north east, and the Avon and Blaise Gorges in the west of the city. Lesser known is its coal field, and Trooper's Hill, this lump of pennant sandstone in the east of the city. While the remaining undeveloped areas of clay and limestone support deciduous woodland, and dairy agriculture, Trooper's Hill has an acidic heathland ecology found nowhere else in the area.

The wonky structure centre-left is a chimney from a ventilation system for the 19th century riverside industry at the bottom of the hill.

Great colours- such a warm range of tones in the vegetation contrasted by the cool light blues and fantastic cloudscape. Well done! -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

The sky makes this one, but the colors and pattern on the land are interesting too. A very full dramatic shot. **From the C&F group**
