Chepstow

Well, not actually Chepstow, but down by the old Severn Bridge. Some friends of ours took us down for a walk to the water front. It was a bright late summer morning and I took a few snaps...

 

The estuary mud is particularly glutinous. I know, I got some on my trainers. Looking up, the carriageway looking quite clean and functional. If I had a pound for every time I have driven over it...

Our walk adjoins M.O.D. land.

another nice view of the bridge.

The new bridge in the distance and with a couple of 'arty' foregrounds

We are not alone; this is a popular spot for photographers.

an interesting fungus

The previous days strong winds had rather thrashed these flags.  

Berkeley nuclear power station across in England.

 

a last glimpse before we go off for lunch

 

May 2008 and we were over Chepstow way once more. This time, a short visit to the Lydney Dock renovation project. Down by the Severn, something stirred...
Always a super view from our hosts house of the estuary and the distant Severn Bridges. These gnarled tree branches caught my eye on an early morning walk

Here we are, down by the edge of the estuary.

Mud, mud, and more mud.

Lock gates.

An old manor house seen on our walk nearby.

Our friends dog rushes out from a field of oil seed rape.
and there's plenty of it here...
