"We should work but one day a week and take the other six to enjoy the glory that is nature." Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thank-you Ralph.
Found the key to my shackles and broke free from the cube to take advantage of the 24 C weather. A welcome relief after two days of thick fog and drizzle. Like the birds, I'm heading further South as the days go by. It was June '11 when I last passed this way.
Here's a shot from last June. It's a little fuzzy as it was taken well past sunset. Liked the dark, creepy windows. Perhaps we'll have a "scary barn" post for Halloween. There's one 'round the corner from here that would make a great movie set. It's a little daunting even during the day.
And here's the same spot now.
Will have to find out when the barn came down. Lot of wind recently, but, this was a fragile structure and would not have taken much to bring it down. I have great affection for barns and farmyards.
Signage at this part of the trail is still in progress. A few walkers with their pets and someone on horseback even though the picture suggests the trail was devoid of human life. The sun did emerge. A shirtless runner warming up. I thought his car was stuck but those were push ups he was doing. Was it 'no shirt' weather? Apparently so.
Question. Should we have a scoop policy for horses? It's the same principle, no?
Old woods feel. Nature shutting down, but, a splash of colour here and there. Which painter used the little strokes of colour? Turner? Constable? I'm going with Turner; someone will correct me.
Deep farm country. More open views on this leg and a snicket into the farmer's field.
Next stop: White Church Road- there must be a graveyard around here somewhere.
