Hello. A few snaps from a five mile walk I did yesterday. It was a lovely sunny afternoon. Blue skies and fluffy white clouds. Tall pine trees along Wood Bottom.
The windfarm that I often walk past. Picture taken from a different location.
I decided to explore a disused railway line, and scrambled up a bank to get to it. Not been used for many a year. This section sits on top of a bank.
The tunnel goes under the road, which I want to be on top of. There was no way I could climb up onto it here, too steep, so I had to backtrack and find a place to get onto the field between the track and the road.
On my way home now. This is a turf field which will be harvested in the next few weeks.
I love this creaky old skeletal tree. It looks good against this sky.
A nice walk. Enjoy your weekend. Toodle pip. ilona
Beautiful photos especially the trees. I would have looked to do that walk if I was 15 years younger make the most of it while you can IIona.

I felt the urge to stand underneath the pine trees, for a different perspective on them. I am getting out as much as I can.
Deletelove your photos; bet that walk blew the cobwebs away!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have done the walks before I like to explore different parts of it. Keeps the brain ticking over.
DeleteLovely photos Ilona.Nature at its best.Love the old railway track as well.I wonder when that was last in use?xx
ReplyDeleteI can't find a date when it was last used. It is called Mineral Railway, it moved goods trains between the steel works and the docks. No passengers, no stations.
DeleteAre all those fields where you walk owned by private citizens or are they public areas? All our farmland and fields like that are privately owned and no trespassing but of course the small parks have walking allowed. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteFields are all owned by somebody, around me Lord Sheffield owns them. The paths are public footpaths and bridleways, marked on the Ordnance Survey maps. Anyone can walk them. Mostly they are along the edge of a field, sometimes they are through the middle of it. They are protected by law and cannot be closed or diverted without a lengthy application to the authorities. The disused railway track I was on is not an official footpath. I was sneaking a look at it.
