I had a 6 hour layover in Boston on my way to Manchester and the terminal I was in had a gorgeous view of the Harbor so I tried sketching it...
This was just a quick perspective thing I was showing the year one students at a pub during a trip to the Cheshire Plain
Last week we went out to Rivington Pike and these are just some quick sketches as we were climbing the hill and I was falling behind so their quality is... not really very good but it was really just to get an idea.
Now since I've been here we've explored the Cheshire plain and Rivington Pike, the Pike being the actual site of our current project
This image comes from the Cheshire plain, its abit foggy, as expected but way off in the distance is Manchester more specifically you can just barely make out Beetham Tower Manchester's tallest building.
The view on our Asecent up Rivington Pike. Still rainy and misty as you can see...
This is a tower at the top of the Pike, the pike is on the end of the Pennine Moors which divides the Eastern and Western parts of England. At one point the very hill was used as a stage of a beacon warning system to alert the English to an invasion by the Scots.. Just as a quick note, the view is allegedly second to none in England and on a clear day you can see Blackpool Tower and Liverpool Easily.. However the weather conspired against us and we could see only mist and more mist.. in fact at the top it was almost like being in the midst of a smoke screen as you could see absolutely nothing beyond the top of the hill.. Not really relevant but pretty funny... I've got a book to make for tuesday so I suppose I'll update again once thats finished..
