Another trip to Bolton Abbey for a walk... This was on the 10th March... we're at that time of year when the lag time between me taking photos and posting them here makes a difference. Spring is springing, but in early March there were only subtle signs. Things seem to be moving slowly this year. The day had promised to be bright and sunny. It was dry but there wasn't much sunshine, disappointingly.
I parked in the Strid car park for a change, walked down through the woods to the river, upriver from the aqueduct (above) to Barden Bridge (below) and then back along the opposite riverbank. It's a very pleasant walk with more open views than you get further downstream. There were plenty of people about, mostly with dogs, but it rarely feels crowded there.
Everything seemed somehow to be poised, waiting, caught in that liminal space between seasons...
Here in Sweden we're still at that stage, so in that way it looks very familiar... ;)
ReplyDeleteWe are waiting for autumn to come, but summer insists on staying. Greetings from Argentina!
ReplyDeleteThe river offers such beautiful curves that just make a piece of art.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a couple of weeks will make at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteYou perfectly capture that liminal space--and the breath-holding. Beautiful words and pictures!
