Totney Drove HFF.

Totney Drove HFF.
The majority of the Somerset level's are below sea level and are often peat based so roads and sometimes structure's succumb to movement caused by the wet and dry seasons,
If you are able to view large please note the surface on this well used drove (road) highlighted by the sunset.
Roads on the levels are almost always called Droves.

For some strange reason the location insists it's not Totney Drove but the map tells a different story.

ColRam, Sylvie Coeffic, Leon_Vienna, Anji. and 66 other people have particularly liked this photo

Another beautiful sundown Roger, great textures in the road surface which I can relate to on my trips across the Fens in Cambridgeshire. I guess there are a few exhaust pipe scrapings just beyond the railings.

Indeed they are legion across the levels Maurice, the landscape is not unlike the Fens straight droves and 90 degree corners plus the roller coaster surfaces for drivers, Many thanks.

Beautiful light and a lovely colourful sunset. The road surfaces here are not great either. Lots of grit washed onto them at the moment from the torrential rain and more potholes have opened up on the hill road. I kept having to dodge them on the way home today.

Hi Roger

A very nice picture, which I really like

Fantastic colours in the sunset

The routes of many of these old roads go back to the days of farmers herding their animals off to market. In typical local council style, they never applied much effort or resources to making them decent, simply a layer of tarmac over whatever had been there for centuries... Hence the effect you describe so well..

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Many thanks Peter, I assume the lowers levels dry and shrink then expand again as the wet season arrives sadly it does not happen evenly, the areas around the peat diggings are the worst by far.

Wonderful light and fantastic colours Roger. The wobbly road makes a great leading line!

I'm guessing that light gave your sensor a bit of a work-out :-))

HFF to you and I hope you have a super weekend.

Thank you for the terrific comments Keith, the camera is really good with low light images and at around 8.45pm it was much darker than the image shows, I had poped it onto the mono pod just to be sure but it coped quite well.

Thanks for the info, too, Roger. The undulations on the road are remarkable. Natural speed bumps, uh? :D

HFF a bit late, Roger.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Annalia S.
Thank you for the nice comments Annalia, these bumps appear on droves all over the levels and locals take no notice you just look out for them and slow down, droves are almost all single lane with the odd passing place so speed is not recommended,
