Let me take you on a journey to a bridge I went to earlier today…
There’s a bit you have to go through, where you have to be Steven Seagal to get to the other side (I won’t talk about the time someone was flat up against the wall in shocking fashion). Once you’ve made it through this underpass into a J.R. Tolkien version of Narnia (if there can be such a thing involving the Shire), you arrive in a heavenly place full of fields and horses knocking about.
On cue, here’s three (count ’em) I had to zoom in on:
And here’s some cute ducks that were also meeting up in this area:
Ducks with babies are very cute aren’t they. I know they only really want me for my bread.
Check out the scariness of this bridge. I used to look over this exact aqueduct bridge to acclimatise myself to the prospect of going on the fastest zip wire in the world. This is what you see on the other side when you climb up and look over:
Immense and somewhat terrifying isn’t it? The picture doesn’t really do it justice, but if you’re into the idea of your own mortality you’ll have a bit of a wobble as you look over.
This is the other side of the bridge, near where Hue does his crap graffiti that I alluded to in a much earlier post. I often see dog walkers and runners (almost always wearing shockingly tight lycra) there at the canal right next to it. I’m sure it’s unintentional, but it’s the ideal meeting spot/hang-out along that route. For that reason it also attracts graffiti and lovers declarations where they are situated, drinking their favourite tipple or shaking a can of spray paint.
Here’s what I’m talkin’ about Willis:
I ❤️ L. Wonder who left this here.
