Friday Photo(s) #69

My gaff is in Suffolk, though only just. The River Waveney flows about 100 yards from my front door and this ancient waterway defines the county's boundary with Norfolk. Across the footbridge that spans the river is a substantial green space, protected in perpetuity for the town, even though, technically, it sits just outside the town. I use the meadow regularly as either a cut through, a brief circular walk or a place to stop and recalibrate while watching the river flow. To quote Courtney Barnett, sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit.

A vantage point just before the footbridge offers the opportunity of an uninterrupted view along a stretch of the river and it's one I seldom turn down. Here's that view in spring, summer and winter. It never gets old.

Looks like a lovely spot. Will you be adding an Autumn photo to complete the set?

Great photos. This is how I ended up taking 365 photos of one tree; it never looks the same two days on the bounce.

Do the neighbouring county dwellers hurl insults at each other across the river?!

And given you have seen Eno in the supermarket did he write this song about this particular river?

Thanks all.
Charity Chic, your comment reminded me of a funny little story I was once told, that speaks to the relationship between the counties over the centuries. Watch this space.

You live in a beautiful part of the world. Love seasonal time lapse photos.
