Under a Blue West Yorkshire Sky
I was in Huddersfield this morning and it was a glorious late-autumn day, frosty with incredibly bright sunshine. I kept seeing lots of shapes against a very blue sky.
St. Peter's Church, which had steam coming out of its steeple:

A mill chimney - just what you'd expect in this West Yorkshire town - and more steam:
And former Prime Minister Harold Wilson outside the imposing train station, looking a bit cold:
I'm used to the bustle and congestion of Leeds, and Huddersfield in the early morning was a very pleasant change - far less traffic and much quieter. There are lots of interesting buildings in Huddersfield - it has very many listed buildings - and they looked majestic and beautiful in the sunshine.
Wherever you were in the world this morning, from Bridlington to Bilbao to Barbados, your skies were no bluer than they were in Huddersfield.

Blue skies here in Sebring, Florida but it's mostly due to the oldies playing dominos - they can be VERY competitive you know.
According to English Heritage, who list bulidings for a living, there are more listed buildings in Huddersfield than anyway in the country except Bath.
[and I'm going down there with a sledge hammer this afternoon]
