#365daysofbiking Sunset mellow:

August 31st - Nipping up to Walsall Wood that evening to see a friend, I passed the pithead soul;pture, which always looks dramatic with a good dusk sky behind it.

A structure I’ve never been fond of, it can look fantastic in the right kid of light.

I’m concerned to see the metal flag has sheared off, presumably from repeated wind-flexing. Good job nobody was under it when it dropped. That would have been sharp.

When people think of #Sheffield, they think of steel, but for me it's mining and pits. Birley East Colliery. #cyclinglife #cyclingadventure #cyclingaddict #vegancyclist #cyclocross #mining #pithead #colliery #aforgottenworld #caadx #cannondale (at Shire Brook Valley Local Nature Reserve)

September 1st - Another evening working late, I managed to pass through Walsall Wood just as the sun was setting behind the pithead sculpture. It’s not a thing I’ve ever been fond of, as many people know, but it does make for an interesting view over the old rail line.

It was a beautiful sky and a lovely evening, but I was far too tired to appreciate it.

June 24 - It was, at least, a stunning sunset, and as I travelled through Walsall Wood at dusk, I couldn’t resist a familiar skyline.

Some days, you just need the usual things in life and the reassurance of familiar surroundings.
