Hi Gang;
Been raining on & off all week, so no chance of getting out to take photos of scenery nor are any tractors at work. So digging back into photo album for you.
This is a charming scene of the wooden stile with a length of slate used as a small bridge over the stream.
Cheers David

David, I live a mile from the ridge that is full of
slate called Delta-blue-black and more commomly
known as peach bottom slate.It is supposed to
have been the best for splitting for roof
shingles . The towns here -Delta,pa and Cardiff,
Md were settle by the welsh , many of the families
still here . There is a welsh church in delta. The larger of the quarries is several acres and
at least 150 feet deep .No activity in any of the
quarries in 35 years and for many years before that all the material was ground for granules
for shingles and roll roofing.
