Underpass Impasse by judithg

Underpass Impasse

Photos sometimes materialise in really unexpected places. Rachel came with me to take Monty for a walk this afternoon - we are still getting used to the fact that she doesn't have to get home to get back to revision - it keeps being a nice surprise that the exams are over. I steered the walk around one of my favourite routes where I knew I could find a few potential subjects and she spotted a really close up heron for me, held the dog and allowed me to completely mess up the shots without any excuse whatsoever! Anyway I was happy with some nice cygnets and other things and had gone off 'photo duty' when I realised that the underpass back to the car was not only flooded but occupied by cows. I suspect Rachel will be glad to start work!
Some more ball photos and info in my blog http://discovercambridge.wordpress.com/
PS Thanks very much for all the comments on my recent photos - this one seems like a rural version of yesterday's although it is actually close to the centre of Cambridge.
Wow, this is beautiful and surreal. And I only just realised what it is.

I feel quite threatened by this shot - but the cow is a bit reassuring!
June 25th, 2012  
Nice picture. I love shots of cows.
June 25th, 2012  
What a fantastically surreal image. I hope they weren;t stuck.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what looked like a cow outline under this bridge! That cow looks completely out of it's comfort zone Judith ..perhaps it thinks it's in the milking parlour! These cows have been getting every where they shouldn't this week!!! Wondrous light!
June 25th, 2012  
I can't decide if the cow is there by choice or not. Very interesting find.
June 25th, 2012  
Oh goodness "Stick to the Side!" Great find
June 25th, 2012  
Looks like they are checking out the graffiti!!

@fueast @happypat @humphreyhippo I'm trying to remember where the cattle grids are but I think they were quite happy - just not with me trying out flash on them at first!
@bdb3471 I've just realised that I now have three cow-graffiti combo photos - I'll have to start a new tag!

Wonderfully weird shot. Took me a while to spot the cow.

The view through the opening at the end looks like someone's big face looking through.:)
June 25th, 2012  
@darrenburch ooooh - yeah!
June 25th, 2012  
ha ha that's so funny!! Silly animal! (I was going to write silly cow but that sounded rude!!)
June 25th, 2012  
Ok I've got to say it - 'Poor cow'!
Great capture!

June 25th, 2012

June 25th, 2012  
This is quite unusual both for the composition and the color... surreal!
June 25th, 2012  
I couldn't believe at first that it was a cow in the water! What on earth does it want to be there for! Amazing shot, non the less!
June 25th, 2012  
Oh wow. What a shot.
June 25th, 2012  
How extraordinary! What a great discovery, it makes a really unusual shot to say the least!
June 25th, 2012  
Are they reading the graffiti? Love this shot though feel for the cows. Wonderful composition and the lighting and color are perfect
June 25th, 2012  
Tunnel/cow/water combination is rather surreal! Love the colours and processing.
June 25th, 2012  
hahaha, I did not see the cow at first, I was looking at the light at the end of the tunnel!!!!! brillent find.
June 26th, 2012

Great shot of impassability
June 26th, 2012  
Now we know who is actually painting the graffiti...check her Wellies for the can of spray paint.
June 26th, 2012  
Great shot, Judith and you did a wondeful job on the post-processing!
June 26th, 2012  
This is truly amazing. A cow does not belong under here! Is it ok??
June 26th, 2012  
@lindag It's just wandered in from the meadows behind - just cooling its feet!
June 26th, 2012  
@peterdegraaff That's it - I'm changing the title!
June 26th, 2012  
Amazing shot Judith!!!! What an amazing sight to come across!
June 26th, 2012

June 26th, 2012  
very funny shot - whereabouts was this?
June 26th, 2012  
@phoenixrising Under Fen Causway near the side entrance to The Leys - it isn't always flooded quite this badly!
June 26th, 2012  
oooh, i love that area, but didn't even know the under bridge area existed! I should definitely explore Cambridge more.
June 26th, 2012  
This is a cow in the water under somewhere? Wow is it flooding there?
June 26th, 2012  
thsi is cool - has a very surreal feel to it! poor cow - hope it has a safe route home!
June 26th, 2012  
Great title
June 26th, 2012  
This certainly is an unusual sight , great photo Judith btw I have put a golden oldie of Helen on today if you want to lol!
June 26th, 2012  
LOVE this shot Judith!!! The light at the end of the tunnel and the cow going toward it.....lovely!
June 27th, 2012  
Surreal! I wonder how many people walking overhead had any idea of what lay beneath their feet. Great blog too.
June 27th, 2012
