Follow the Path down to the Valley. by ladymagpie

Follow the Path down to the Valley.

Out and about in my home area and this muddy path crosses the fields and drops down into the Stroud Valleys. Now I'll be honest, after taking the photograph I didn't take the path but returned to the car, well it was a bit nippy and I had the wrong footwear.

You will notice the lovely fencing and gravestones, this is part of the local parish church which is the reason I came here in the first place searching for a very difficult geocache. It was one of those that you have to stand back and study the area to see if anything just doesn't look quite right, yes it took some time but my geocaching eye helped me find it.

Just enjoy the view on the black background. The field did slope from right to left as well as downwards, we have all been born with goats hoofs to live round here.
Beautiful compositition.

A lovely pov and I always find the geocache stories so interesting. I keep meaning to Google it and see if there's such a thing in my area.

It's a fabulous landscape. The sky is stunning and I love the moss/lichen on the stone wall at the bottom of the fence. Just one question, when you find a geocache what do you do with it?

@thresheg @rosiekind @rubicon @linnypinny @fugitivemoments @elisasaeter @nicoleterheide @congaree @pinkpaintpot @gilbertwood @ivan @axika @khawbecker @fjmom Thank you all for your comments and FAV, sorry for the bulk reply but I was working until late last night.

@ceilidh Margaret, each geocache has a log book inside where you sign it to show it was found. If it's a larger container then there is often little toys or badges which the children can have, they must put something back in exchange. You then come home and log your find on the PC.
