On the boardwalk by shepherdman

On the boardwalk

A rather grey and overcast walk along the valley below the quarry. This part is quite marshy in all but the driest of weather, and so we were quite pleased when the quarry installed a boardwalk through the dampest part. In wet winters, when the valley floods, water laps right up the edge of the boarding, and with floods extending across the fields, it is reminiscent of a promenade along the pier, provided, that is, that you don’t look in the wrong directions and see the green and grassy hillside rising up to the quarry edge. The bottom of the quarry is well below ground level at the base of the hill, and groundwater is constantly being pumped out.
Now I know where you went. Love the photo! What did you do with the dogs?

Love the way you post together, do you share a camera? Lovely perspective here, we're you lying on the bridge?

Nice...like the lead in lines to the end curve!

@lucypics We dont share cameras - When Shepherdmans Wife buys the latest model, I know to look out for deals on the slightly-older-but-almost-as-good model! (And guess who does most of the dog walking...)

@lucypics PS - yes I was lying down, hoping that no other dog walkers would appear around the corner!

It's always nice to have walkways.
Neat photo.
Good think a dog did not happen alone, no telling what it would do, you being close to the ground ;)

Great to walk these sorts of pathways! I tend to email hubby at times - to get his attention!

Great PoV, you're very dedicated lying down!

@eileenw Shepherdmans Wife recommends a low PoV, and what Shepherdman's Wife says, Shepherdman does.....

Lovely atmosphere! I'd like to walk straight until the end of it.
