The long straight path I took on my walk this week is not all that long in reality, and neither is it entirely straight. Often when walking I try to pace myself and not rush off at the beginning as this allows me to do a longer walk without my knees giving any trouble. However, when the path is flat, paved, even and like this one, straight(ish), I find I automatically speed up and it can become more of a march. Had it not been for the fact that I was stopping to photograph and record, I would have completed the linear route there and back quite quickly.
The photo below is of something not generally considered very desirable – Japanese Knotweed – but I liked the strange sticky curtain in front of the field that it created in its bare winter state.
The second shot reminds me of fences made from sticks and branches that we saw in Costa Rica.

Thank you Janet. Memory triggers come from all sorts of things don’t they. I thought it was a slightly unusual subject given that knotweed is not generally desirable but I liked the effect against the fields behind.
A former Railway Line surely?
Yes indeed – the line from Swansea to Pontarddulais and on up the Heart of Wales line. I was watching some archive footage of it just the other day
