Early Sunday morning I had made my way to the beach to listen to the sea for words of wisdom. The sea answered with these.

A timely reminder

The Longest Day

No not the film or book of the same name but the Summer solstice. The day with the longest amount of sun light. It's all going to get darker from now on.

Processing

Processing more soundscapes this morning.
Like buses they all seem to come at once.
You will get a chance to hear them I can assure you!

I hadn't thought of this one

As I am planning to walk from Hopton to Norwich in the near future I thought I had thought of everything. From the right shoes to what clothes to wear, what to bring with me, to what route to take. According to this article in the Eastern Evening News there has been a big cat spotted. Ok this is on the other side of the river Yare for my intended route. Another question you have to ask yourself is this was spotted from a car. So what do I do spot one whilst being on foot if it happens...decisions... decisions decisions...

If it or others do exist...

before we get too carried away

Before we get too carried away with it all looking from the other direction of the previous picture. We see that what has been cleared doesn't follow exactly the path of the footpath. Which it misses by several yards. So do we follow this one that is cleared or do we use the follow footpath that crosses the crops?

Clearing a path

Yesterday was pleased to find that the farmer has mown the footpath which goes across the crops in his fields. First time I have seen him do that. I've only started to this footpath regularly in the last year. Wish other farmers were like that. According to the first Ordinance survey map of this area in the early 1890 s it follows the edge of an earlier hedge that separated this larger field in two. Which is why the tree is still there.

Self imposed satisfaction

Although I find taking self portraits personally quite a hard task to accomplish satisfactory. Forced myself to do this one as a study of light and shade.

Found a way

Was pleased yesterday that I found that the footpaths across Haddiscoe marshes were useable. Apart from the gate that I had to climb over but everything was easily marked to tell where you were going. Therefore not having to walk along the busy and treacherous A143 road which has no safe means walking along side. Witnessing herds of cows idly grazing, a trio of Tornado jets flying overhead and a passing Hercules transport aircraft. The busy traffic tucked away on the road far away as it sneaks across like me the flat surface of what was once water. Even before reaching the marshes the other inter connecting foot paths where more visible in use Starting from Hopton on sea, Lound, Ashby, Fritton, St Olaves and beyond till I got to Thurlton. To clarify these in broad daylight is an understatement. Well have you ever tried to find something in the dark and I mean literally in the dark of night that is new. Even with a map in hand you still have to read the landscape to correlate what is on symbolised on paper and it's place on earth. The image is of the view from Thorpe looking back to Lothingland in the distance. Next stop is eventually Norwich itself!

....on the streets of Lowestoft

All can be revealed...

Echoes of earlier days in may

Seen here forming a meaningful coalition between a tree and poster. Found this photo opportunity as I was about walking.
