2nd Walk of the Day

Apart from the usual "constitutional" at either end of the day, Gwyn & 2e get a proper walk once a day. There might be odd exceptions, if life pans out that way, but generally that's how it works. Today, for some odd reason they got two.


 It's done it again, not posting the pictures in any kind of order, apart from "random"...


 See?

 The last time I saw this gate was probably Boxing Day 1988 while hunting the HVB. Twice, or possibly three times from the bottom of Digley up to the top of Black Hill and back again, before catching our hare right by it. Only two, or possibly three of us were present when we did. I was 21 and will never be again.

The only time I saw it before that was on a school trip from Upperthong JMI, to visit the water works. I'd more or less forgotten that this beautiful little part of the valley existed.......




 How come "Don't work with children and animals" is so true? My default "models" always do their best to pose just long enough to make me go for the shot, then move at the very last second...until just once in a while I manage something approaching a reasonable picture.....








 Another "dog's arse" picture.
 There are the ruins of a lot of old buildings up this little part of the valley. It's a curious journey of the mind to try to imagine the use of them, the people who lived & worked in them, and just how many years ago it all might have been.....

 These two don't care for memory lane though....



 Ever so random, a racing car toy on a tree branch.....

Why not?


 I am not a peeping Tom, and never take pictures of people's private space anonymously, but this comes close to being an exception. I did overcook the contrast to avoid any hint of the living space within, I just liked the simple madness of the image.

 More over-cooking, this time saturation & contrast together...


"...Then he said...and she said....and I said...but you'll never guess...."
