We moved here to number 24 at the very end of November 2007, just over six years ago now. From the very first time we stepped into this house, I was captivated by the attic room under the eaves with it's stunning view from the front dormer window. I love that I can see so much sky from up here and that the light, clouds, weather and seasons seem so much more vivid when they play out across a window of familiar landscape.
If you've been visiting me here in the Attic for any length of time, then this view will be very familiar to you by now, just as it is to me. I photograph it dozens of times during the course of a year, in all weathers and at all times of day. It brings me a huge amount of pleasure to follow the seasons in this way, and to feel connected to the landscape that surrounds our home.
This is a very self indulgent post really, apologies for that. It is just something that I wanted to create purely for my own satisfaction, so I hope you won't mind indulging me as we follow a year of views. The first picture was taken on 8th January and the last one this morning, 28th December.....
Thank you for sharing.....see you tomorrow for a whole year of HooKy HapPeNiNgs :o)

I just love your photos. You are such a talented photographer. Thank you for sharing not only your gorgeous hooky, but also the little snippets of your life and the views from your stunning attic. Now is the time for self indulgence, so please don't feel you have to apologise for a little of it in your blog!

That was very interesting! At some points in the photos the space between the two chimneys appeard to be a boat of some kind in my vision. An ark type boat with a cover. Changes in lighting make a lot of different photos of the same space, very happy that you shared with us.

I don't think that was self-indulgent at all--it's impressive! It's really something, the wide range of views you get from just that one vantage point.

Thanks for sharing your view with us!
As a Canadian who grew up reading and then watching All Creatures Great & Small, I thought Yorkshire was buried in snow all winter. I didn't realize how variable your weather is. ;-)

If I had an attic and a view like that I'd spend all my time just gazing out the window. I love ceilings that slant. Lucky you! The photos are wonderful, thank you.
