Somewhat in the manner of John Constable, but without the turbulent cloudscapes that made Constable's work at once more daring and romantic than it first appeared and with a somewhat shabbier setting, which, nonetheless and taken with the blazing light in the coming distance, this 'Coalbrookdale' of 1801 seems to somewhat presage the coming Industrial Revolution -- the reason no doubt it appears on that page at Wikipedia.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
