Description
Rooley Moor road, Rochdale Lancashire UK.
This view looks towards Rochdale town centre. Viewed full size-Town flats are visible locally know as the seven sisters.
Behind me this old cobbled road ends here and all you can see is moorland and electricity pylons.

nice view...
If it were yellow, it'd be the road to Oz!!
Awesome POV and image!!!
Good angle, I wonder where the houses have gone from the roadside? I have days like that looking for apic to post!!
Beautiful view and fantastic photo.
WOW ! I love that road. Stones and stones. Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Love the low POV Alan! Great image... I was also on the road again and flew to Windhoek in Namibia for two days - unfortunately for work!!! :)
Great perspective and view in the background. Very nice photo.
A wonderful photo, dear Alan. Your pov is spot on leading the eye right into the distance. Happy hugs. Di. xx
An amazing thing! I presume no vehicles are allowed on it, or it would get spoiled quickly. This is a super pic, Alan!
Great perspective and way to lead the eye and add depth to the capture. I am amazed by these old roads and how solid they are.
excellent capture of this old brick road, i wonder how old it is and the history behind it ? i'm sure its fascinating regardless.
Beautiful image and POV Alan, excellent well done..
Time shows many features here. Well done
Superb shot and wonderful POV! Beachzz beat me to it, if the bricks were yellow, I'd say that was the Emerald City ahead!
A wonderful POV and a great landscape catch! Very, very beautiful, Alan! Thanks for sharing. The right place for a bike-tour. Always down! 5+
Isn't this is an old Roman road? If so, then it dates back to as least 495 A.D.
I have spent many happy hours up there Alan both working and playing radio. Wagons and tractors still use the road it leads up to an abandoned stone quarry that they want to reopen. Now that they have the windfarm up there, there is every chance they will be allowed to open in when they next apply. A precedent has been set now, by allowing the turbines to be built. Originally the road went all the way over to bacup, I tried going through in my car once but was forced to turn round after a couple of miles due to the road being dangerous. Excellent capture, I have a few similar to this but not as wide angle, I have been toying with going up to the end of the cobbles for a panoramic shoot. Also to the top of Blackstone Edge and Windy Hill. Superb work with this one mate. Bravo!!!!!
Great photo with so much detail, excellent POV, if I hadn't opened it up full I wouldn't have seen the grazer at the side of the road!
Cobbles! you can feel your teeth rattle together - wonderful wonderful.
Beautiful perspective and capture Alan!
Follow the yellow brick road... only with air quality today I see that the road has aquired a bit of dingy grime... Stellar view. I love the way the brick road leads you without making a big deal out of it. A pleasant trip...
Super capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the way the eye is taken to the far distance having first picked up the cobbles. And excellent shot. (Now all I need to do is to add some scantily clad elvish warriors to walk down that road on the way to a far off battle!) 5++ Dave
Excellent vanishing point type photo, lots to look at in full view at the end of the road. Tony :-)
Really excellent capture! I love this!
excellent! great POV
This is great! I love the pov. I bet wooden wheels on a cobblestone road was just a teeth-jarring experience.
Excellent capture my friend.
Beautiful view, Alan, nice capture.The perspective and composition are superb, looks fantastic in full size, excelent work !
