Lower Slaughter is a village in the English county of Gloucestershire, located in the Cotswold district, 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of the town of Stow-on-the-Wold. The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, which also flows through Upper Slaughter. At the west end of the village there is a 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power. There is a ford where the river widens in the village and several small stone footbridges join the two sides of the community. While the mill is built of red brick most of the 16th and 17th century homes in the village use Cotswold sandstone and are adorned with mullioned windows and often with other embellishments such as projecting gables. Records exist showing that Lower Slaughter has been inhabited for over 1000 years. The Domesday Book entry has the village name as “Sclostre”. It further notes that in 1066 and 1086 that the manor was in the sheriff's hands. Lower Slaughter Manor, a Grade-II listed 17th-century house, was granted to Sir George Whitmore in 1611 and remained in his family until 1964. The 13th century Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin. Much of the current structure was built in 1866; however, the spire and peal of six bells was recently restored. In May 2013 it was reported in the national news that the Parish Council were fiercely opposed to the presence of an icebox tricycle selling ice creams for seven days a week, six months of the year, citing that the trading times were excessive, increased footfall would prevent the grass from growing and that children could climb on the trike and fall into the nearby river.

"Footfalls echo in the memory/
Down the passage which we did not take/ Towards the door we never opened/ Into the rose-garden. My words echo/
Thus, in your mind.
But to what purpose/
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves/ I do not know."

The Full Long Nights Moon sets at Sunrise over Pukerua Bay, New Zealand June 8th 2009
Night knows not, neither is it shown to day,
By sunlight nor by starlight is it shown,
Nor to the full moon's eye nor footfall known,
Their world's untrodden and unkindled way.
Nor is the breath nor music of it blown
With sounds of winter or with winds of May.
But here, where light and darkness reconciled
Held earth between them as a weanling child
Between the balanced hands of death and birth,
Even as they held the new-born shape of earth
When first life trembled in her limbs and smiled,
Here hope might think to find what hope were worth.
from In the Bay by Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837 - 1909)

A sinking city - maybe under the footfall of the thousands of tourists (er, and photographers). Like the people, the water lapping at the boats never stops moving.
beneath the humming lifeblood of munich central station, a tale of two desires unfolds. a lonesome traveler strides, his path divergent from the beckoning "festwiese" sign, where echoes of oktoberfest revelry call. it's a silent narrative of choices and reflections—literally. his mirrored self, a ghostly silhouette, appears to glance towards the festivities, a doppelgänger drawn to what might have been. in this transient corridor of life's crossroads, every footfall is a story, a singular journey against the tide, a personal odyssey within the city's heartbeat.

This ancient holloway near Halnaker on the South Downs (UK) is the perfect example of human activity and nature working together to create a lasting impression on the landscape. The use of heavy carts, the herding of livestock and regular human footfall since ancient times has lowered the level of the lane through erosion, whilst the trees and bushes that line the lane grow up and over to create a wonderful tunnel effect.
She had heard his footsteps far off. The tree scraped at her bare skin as she silently waited. Every instinct had led her to this position. The climb had been rough, every bone, every muscle was frozen stiff. Now everything lay silent but the soft footfalls of the approaching man. He was one of them, an Albornian soldier. They had killed the only family she had ever known. Destroyed the only place she called home. He deserved to die. He would live no longer.
No sound left the man's mouth as he sunk to the floor.
Cora’s blade had lodged into his throat as she fell from the trees. The seconds that followed were the worst moments of Cora’s life. The pure horror of what she had just done now became clear. Cora had seen death before, but this time it was different. This time it was the result of her own hands.
Cora was barely conscious as she dug the pit, scraping into the snow with every last ounce of life she had. This is what he truly deserved, what every man deserved. A proper burial.

I can't help but be drawn again and again to a winding path through the woods, particularly when, like now, the needles are rich and red, like a carpet on the forest floor. I'm struck by the quiet as I walked this path yesterday. The needles cushion my footfalls, the children are off at school, and the quiet forest sounds are all I hear. The wind brushing through the tops of trees, the birds singing, and the quiet crunch of dried leaves underneath my hiking boots. Somewhere along a trail like this I pause, and take a deep breath, feeling the clean air fill my lungs and some of life's stress flow out of me. I used a narrow depth of field to leave most of this image out of focus. This image is about a concept - the healing of being alone in God's beautiful earth - breathing deep, and finding peace.

What made this spot so spectacular wasn't the scenery - though that was beautiful - but rather the sounds. I have long coveted the sound of snow crunching underfoot as one of my favorite noises in the world. On this particular hike my ears were treated to so many varieties of this specific melody. For example, there was the crunching my boots made in the softly fallen snow of only a couple of inches deep. Then there was the crackling that came from beneath my feet when I skirted the edge of such puddles. There was also the sound that arose when icy ground was covered by light snow and the muffled crackling combined with a slight crunch. And yes, the occasional splash of icy water, because what good are waterproof boots if you never step foot in a puddle or two? The tenor of the crunches even climbed and fell depending on the depth of the snow and I enjoyed the stroll under the trees, the air crisp and the natural winter symphony under my feet as we walked along. If you look with such an appreciation at this image you can see at least six different spots that will produce their own sound while walking. While I enjoy those moments marked by grandeur I appreciate those even more that are marked by the richness of their depth.

Dzukou Valley - A Perfect Trail To Trekker's Paradise
© Zakir Hossain
☎ +8801611266162 📧 zakir1346@gmail.com
Dzukou valley is the North East's answer to the popular Valley of Flowers trek. According to the locals Dzukou means cold water, referring to the cold river stream that flows through the valley. Dzukou is situated on the borders of Nagaland and Manipur. However, the trek is approached from the Nagaland side owing to the harsh terrain from the Manipur side coupled with lesser info on the route. The Dzukou campsite is at an altitude of about 2400 meters. The Angami tribe stays around the villages predominantly. The valley is looked after by the Southern Angami Youth Organization (SAYO), a local body.
The best season depends on what you're looking for. If it's the Dzukou lily and abundant flowering then June July 1st week is the ideal. But expect plenty of rain. Then till Sept 2nd week expect plenty of rainfall. Post monsoon season is when the rains subside and the valley sees the most footfall. You'll see greenery and a bit of flowering though till Nov 1st week. The sky will be clear mostly and days will be sunny. Nights will definitely get cold though, ensure to pack in a warm jacket. Winters normally don't see much folks, but you can still visit. You may also plan it as part of your Hornbill festival itinerary. Towards Dec end or Jan expect a layer of snow engulfing Dzukou.
I made the best of a bad job - adders were out sunbathing but more skittish than ever, probably warmer than March so moving easier - the lightest footfall or bracken snap and they were off out of sight! Waiting for a while paid off - they came back out but more often than not in a different spot!
The official Bluebell woods ( AKA Dockey woods ) on the Ashridge Estate in Hertfordshire has become so popular it is attracting ever growing numbers of visitors which has prompted the estate to gate it off and charge entry. This should keep it in good shape from heavy footfall at this time of the year and support the rangers overseeing the area. However, for those willing to stray not too far off the main routes there are areas of the woodland with much richer and vast coverage of bluebells than Dockey. Stay to the routes and enjoy.
Thick socks, sturdy boots and rucksacks. Hunched over, walking, tackling slow ascents and meandering ridges before winding descents with unsure footfalls over crumbling limestone paths. A deserved stumble into a country pub or a well placed tea shop. That's how these hills are walked. That's walking the Cotswold way.

This view shows the exterior of the main building at Pontins Camber Sands holiday park. The Pontins camp at Camber Sands was closed with "immediate effect" by its owners, Britannia Hotels, in November 2023. The closure significantly impacted the local village, affecting employment, businesses, and footfall. As of December 2024, Britannia Hotels confirmed plans to redevelop the site as a holiday destination. It is located in Camber, a village in East Sussex.
Camber is a village and civil parish in the Rother district of East Sussex, England, 4.8 km south-east of Rye. The village is located behind the sand dunes that occupy the estuary of the River Rother, where the seaside settlement of Camber Sands is situated. In 2011 the parish had a population of 1265.
The village of Camber takes its name from the Camber (la Chambre) the huge embayment of the English Channel located between Rye, old Winchelsea and Old Romney that was gradually lost to "innings" and silting-up following changes to the coastline and the changed course of the Eastern Rother since the Middle Ages.

With the awful weather this week, the forest footfall has been greatly reduced, and results in Deer out in the open with less risk of being chased or worse!

The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, which also flows through Upper Slaughter. At the west end of the village there is a 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power. There is a ford where the river widens in the village and several small stone footbridges join the two sides of the community.

Upper Slaughter is a village in the English county of Gloucestershire located in the Cotswold district located 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of the town of Stow-on-the-Wold. Nearby places include Lower Slaughter, Bourton-on-the-Water and Daylesford. The village is built on both banks of the River Eye. The Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Peter. Upper Slaughter was identified by author Arthur Mee as one of 32 Thankful Villages, although more recent work suggests a total of 52. This term referred to the small number of villages in England and Wales which had lost no men in World War I, and was popularised by Mee in the 1930s. In Enchanted Land (1936), the introductory volume to "The King's England" series of guides, he wrote "that a Thankful Village was one which had lost no men in the Great War because all those who left to serve came home again." Although the village was subject to an air raid, it also lost no men in World War II, an honour held by only 14 villages, collectively known as the Doubly Thankful Villages. The parliamentary constituency is represented by Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP. The name of the village derives form the Old English term "slough" meaning "wet land". The manor of Upper Slaughter is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086; the Slaughter family acquired it in the late 12th century. The current building, on the site of an ancient building, was constructed over many years, starting in the Tudor era. Its crypt is estimated to be from the 14th century. The largest business in the village is the Lords of the Manor Hotel. The building dates from 1649 and has been a hotel since 1960s. The owners continue to furnish the house with portraits and antiques belonging to the former owner. Other hotels serving the two Slaughter villages include The Slaughters Country Inn and Lower Slaughter Manor. In 1906, the cottages around the square were reconstructed by architect Sir Edward Lutyens.

Here are some shots of Edrelle and Honey Stripes taken among those for the tale of the Laughing Fox, a glimpse of them as they left the peaceful village of Riverwood, setting out into the warm hue of the morning rays, the pleasant scent of pine so clear in the crisp air, a carpet of pine needles softening one's footfalls on the rocky path. The gentle wind pushed the stubborn clouds from their perch on distant mountains as one peered across the plain of gilded grasses.
I am starting to build up some shots for a chapter or two, trying to get a little ahead with my shots so I can think more about the actual writing, aiming to resume the tale around next weekend.

I did go down the cliffs to get the usual angle on the Crowns (an extremely well trodden path this one - almost furrowlike due to the amount of footfall) but the the light on the clifftop was too good to miss. There is a very good walk from here to Cape Cornwall and on to Sennen Cove.

Heavy footfall at DRS Gresty Bridge Open Day, Saturday 23.7.16
For the Phoenix Railway Photographic Circle and alternative railway photography, follow the link:
Linking the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral on the north side, across the Thames to the Tate Modern on the south, is the remarkable Millennium Bridge.
The design was determined by an international design competition which was open to architects, artists and engineers from across the world. The competition was won by sculptor Anthony Caro and engineers Ove Arup and company, who worked with renowned architects Foster & Partners to create the iconic structure.
The bridge was to represent a collaboration between art, design and engineering to reflect London in the new millennium, and also to symbolize the strengthening relationship between the financial community and the arts on the South bank.
The bridge was completed in June 2000, though somewhat embarrassingly had to be closed again shortly afterward as the bridge swayed unnervingly in the wind under the pressure of synchronised pedestrian footfall! Dampeners were installed to counteract the wobble and the bridge was reopened in February 2002.
The bridge is one hundred and forty, four meters long and is supported by eight cables that are 120mm thick. When the bridge is fully loaded each cable takes a strain of over 2000 tones. Over the span of the whole bridge the cables only dip two meters providing for uninterrupted views of the Thames for those crossing.
The millennium bridge stands as a testimony to modern design and as such it feels befitting that the structure does link to the symbol of modern design, The Tate Modern

Coastal temperate rain forest near the Mendenhall Glacier, just north of Juneau Alaska.
Tropical rainforests win for diversity of species, but temperate rainforests beat them out for sheer size. These forests are home to some of the largest concentrations of biomass on the planet.
The only sounds we heard in this enchanting woodland were our own muffled footfalls, occasional gurgling water and the dweeeb call of varied thrushes.
Amber Fort, Amer, Jaipur
Jaipur is the doorway to the region in India that has the most exotic and some living forts in the country and the world.
Jaipur is part of the Golden Triangle that forms the highest tourist footfall in North India. Agra, Delhi and Jaipur make up the three points of the triangle. Our first stop in Jaipur was this Amber Fort, also called Amer Fort, named after and located in an erstwhile capital town. Because of resource constraints at Amer, the town moved many years ago to what is now Jaipur. This is where the prince lived previously but royalty deserted this to the City Palace which is now in the heart of the city.

Sunderland's High Street West was busy with shoppers this evening, looking for last minute Christmas presents.
Like so many other shopping streets in towns and cities across the country, there are numerous empty units.
Sunderland is not alone in trying to re-imagine how our city-centre moves forward in changing shopping habits.
Undoubtedly, those people who will be populating the new office buildings across the road and the people who begin to occupy the new housing developments on land around the site of the former Vaux brewery are probably part of the key to the city's new future.
This corner of the city will quite literally, be on their doorstep.
The increased footfall will hopefully be the catalyst that spurs further investment and business opportunities.
Hopefully, there's a marketing team on the case right now!

Here are some shots that did not make it into the last chapter of Edrelle's tale, glimpses of a curious wanderer with painted wings watching the group pass, of the group sharing a few kind words near the imposing sihouette of Whiterun's keep, of a guard standing watch at an outpost among the swaying grass whistling a tune and of a less walked path among frosted pines under falling snow.

A sad sight anywhere. This was taken in a tunnel near Waterloo Station, a large footfall but not many taking much notice ...
When I visited the Jean Nouvel designed One New Change during the recent #Photo24London event I was surprised to see a new staircase leading down to the lower level. This new addition has presumably been added to increase the footfall to the shops located there.
It proved a difficult stair to photograph but thankfully my hired 10.5mm fisheye helped get quite a dynamic shot.

Surrey Street off of The Strand, Westminster, London. The closed station was the terminus of a short spur of the Piccadilly Line from Holborn, originally called 'Strand' when it opened in 1907. Little used it started restricting services as early as 1917 and finally closed for good in 1994 by which time the line was only operating as a rush hour shuttle. London Transport decided that the cost of replacing the ageing lifts couldn't be justified by the small footfall.
However, the station has been preserved below ground, including the platform and track plus a working tube train and is regularly used as a filming location. Pre booked guided tours can also be arranged.

Footfalls echo in the memory,
Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened. -T.S. Eliot
Finally I caught up with some ground feeding Hawfinch in Gloucestershire today, but the relentless footfall past the site put pay to any real clean shots as every time one came down to the seed a cyclist, runner, walker, dog walker or vehicle seemed to go past which made each visit very brief indeed. Still nice to see them close up, I will try again in the not too distant future on a much quieter day.
Dating back to early 17th century, Jagaddhatri (Bearer of the World) worship is a cult in erstwhile French township of Eastern India, Chandannagar. An approximately 20-30 feet clay idol of Maa Jagadhatri is worshiped for 5 days, housed in beautifully crafted 'pandal' (sort of a marquee) magnificently lit by the famous lighting industry that is prevalent here. The artisans work round the year for this occasion as the city lights up into a 5 day carnival with millions of footfalls visiting multiple such pandals. Presenting one such pandal decked up with the theme of Dokra alloy artwork, popular in the rural parts of Bengal, with Maa Jagaddhatri in the backdrop.

A sculpture created for the Gromit Unleashed trail in Bristol, of Feathers McGraw Called Banana-arma
Gromit Unleashed 2 is a public arts trail currently taking place in Bristol, England. The trail features 67 giant sculptures designed by high-profile artists, designers, innovators and local talent. Sculptures are positioned in high footfall and iconic locations around Bristol and the surrounding area from July 2 to September 2, 2018. A sequel to Gromit Unleashed, the trail will feature statues of Wallace on a life-size bench, Gromit, and Feathers McGraw.
The trail is intended to raise funds for Bristol Children's Hospital and St. Michael's Hospital's Special Care Baby unit.
The Sidings, London. The Sidings, within the RIBA award winning former Eurostar Terminus, started a phased opening from Summer 2022 and features "forty new glass-fronted prime units and the Waterloo Curve – a new pedestrianised street that will enhance the public space on offer in the area and transform the land and railway arches at Waterloo into an eclectic food, drink, shopping and cultural experience."
Opening at a time, post COVID, where footfall has struggled to regain former levels, take up of the units has been slow. The development was designed by Corstophine & Wright with Weston Williamson + Partners.

I loved the way the warm morning sunlight spilled across this simple little scene, resulting in some lovely light and shade effects. The little path is created by sheep, who despite having a great wide area to walk in, often seem to follow each other almost footfall to footfall, creating these mini trails.
Freightliner class 70 no. 70004 tops the bank up to Ince & Elton station with the 12.07 Ellesmere Port - Fiddlers Ferry PS coals (6F02) on 12th May 2014.
Despite boasting a couple of substantial stone shelters the station sees just four services either way a day, timetabled for the early morning and late afternoon. Not surprisingly footfall for 2012/13 was just 460 passengers.
This is Bearley Junction, possibly at the point at which it was at it's most run down. The running in board originally informed passengers that Bearley Junction was the place to change for the Alcester Branch, Stratford-upon-Avon & Leamington Spa. by this time only the 'A' is intact, the rest of the name is picked out by the ingenious use of rust.
On this cold misty morning Gloucester class 122 55003 rasps away with the 10.48 Leamington Spa to Stratford-upon-Avon service.
Today the station is much more tidy and neat, yes it has only a bus shelter but the footfall makes anything bigger surplus, regular users know when the trains are due and there is an electronic display to confirm the arrival time.
