Visions of Park Bridge: A little glimpse of sunshine

Visions of Park Bridge: A little glimpse of sunshine
As we here in England take the first steps to normalisation in this C19 lockdown, we get natures reply. Taken on a recent isolation exercise walk, this is along a place I know as ‘Roger Rocks’. In reality it is part of the larger Country Park area called ‘Park-Bridge’ in Ashton-under-Lyne. Running down the centre of the photo from left to right is the River Medlock, almost in draught condition. Of course the colours and verdant wild-flowers of late May in this beautiful lighting attracted me to this.

As usual best view full screen on black.

This is one of the up-sides of lock-down Herb. Beautifully captured and such a delightful shot.
Take care. Rosa.

In that when we see nature like this again -it seems twice as good Rosa! Its on the very edge of our expanding lock-down walks. I am still not taking the car to anywhere further so this is from our house. Maybe soon it will be different. My local beauty spot -The Dovestones area has been reportedly like a mad-house of visitors. More there at the moment than I have even heard off. Not for us!

Keep safe. Herb

Thanks Toz. This is not a million miles away (about 2.4m) in practice but it can seem much further. Glad you enjoyed it. i am going to run a series of photos from here.

Keep good. Herb

Such a wonderful woodland scene..................with glorious light and dappled shadows and filled with grasses and wild flowers. An oasis of tranquility!

A fantastic image Herb. It's good to see you out and about again :-)

Certainly one from your examples of photography my friend. It is so nice to see nature like this.

Keith, this is not really us being out and about again, as it is on one of our three cycled grand walks that we do two-off, each week as part of our lock-down exercise. However, this is the first time we have ventured as far as Roger Rocks which is about another half a mile or so. Only do-able this time because the swampy paths had dried out as well as the broken style replaces.

Hope to get further, by car soon but to be honest, we are not in any hurry, with all these manly young people taking no notice whatsoever of social distancing in our 'most dangerous place in Britain for numbers of Covid cases and deaths (The North West).

Cheers and keep safe. Herb

Quite sensible to take a cautious approach Herb. We're not in any hurry to go too far from home yet and certainly not on a hot sunny weekend when everywhere will be busy.

I still think we're opening up to soon............but I'll be very happy to be proved wrong..!!

A lovely verdant green landscape, with the wild flowers adding colour. A beautiful capture, Herb.

Verdent indeed George. What you don't get on here, is the sound of insects that I could hear not the sweet smells of lush mature from the river area. Glad you liked it.

Keep safe. Herb

Good for you Roger. I hope your wanted area is less crowded than our countryside at the moment. The public have gone mad here!

Quiet lush and rich in wild Flora Herb, a wonderful place to visit, hopefully there are well trod footpaths to view this without having to crush it under foot.

Thanks for this Maurice. A nice lush view for sure. This was only a few steps of our path so you be assured not a single plant was crushed :) Thanks for enjoying this with me.
