well worn path

the walk from northleach to hampnett church.


postscript:
an interesting reflection by Jocelyn in the comments section. I'm an admirer of her photographic images on illuminasjon. J's is one of those places I visit and wonder why I didn't think of doing that! then there are other sites I look at with a degree of envy because they focus on subjects I rarely get access to - namely big urban themes and people who like posing in front of cameras.

I was going over some of the old images and wondering whether I'm capturing this other worldliness - unintentionally, or in lieu of anything else.


ah well... thinking of J's sentiment, this from a different ''Soup'';

Went out walking through the wood the other day
And the world was a carpet laid before me
The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange
And it seemed about a hundred years ago

Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate
Just gazing at some dragon in the sky
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away
Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago...

(100 years ago - rolling stones)

coincidently, I was playing this song just the other day and it struck a chord (no pun intended) with this image.

Very very nice. Makes me want to go to church again (well, at least to walk the path to it).

I would love to sit on the wood gate, chew on something & gaze at the world!

Smooch,

Yes, J, I was going over some of the old images and wondering whether I'm capturing this other worldliness - unintentionally.

This from another Soup;

funny, I was playing this song just the other day and it struck a chord (no pun intended).
