No ,it is part of a Cotswold way which starts at Chipping Camden in the south stretching over 100 miles all across the Cotswold finishing up at the front of Bath Abbey in the north, a lot of beautiful places to see along the way
'Way to go' on a peaceful stroll.
Once at the top of Mt. Coot-tha, it's great to leave the car and enjoy 'the bush' walk . Again, not another soul in sight.
The sound of the Bellbirds ... the fragrance of the Australian bush ... are two of life's pleasures.

I've chosen this image to share today as I have just read of the decision of site director Gabriel Zuchtriegel to limit daily visitor numbers.
The first Sunday in October this year saw over 36,000 people enter the gates - greater than the original population of Pompeii in the 1st century.
Roman history and especially sites such as Pompeii have fascinated me for decades. I have been so lucky to have visited back in the 1980s, then twice more, the last time being when I took this shot in January 2013.
The first two times were in summer and even then it was very pleasant with small sprinklings of tourists and one could spend all day there, observing, learning, taking it all in. Now it sounds horrific.
I worry about the preservation of the archaeology and I for one, applaud this recent decision.
This was a tiny back street in an area that not many tourists make it to. In this shot, Vesuvius can be seen in the distance. One can also see stepping stones placed by the city builders that allow pedestrians to cross paths and streets without getting wet or dirty.

Macro Mondays and the theme of "Board Game Pieces".
For this theme I surmised that there will be quite a few images of Chess pieces and other well known board game pieces so I decided to use on of my wife's board games that should be less popular.
The objective in "Pathways" is to join together the coloured pieces which are three blocks long each so your pieces make a chain the entire length of the board. One colour from top to bottom and the other from left to right. Eventually one colour will block the other and win.
I wanted as much in the image as possible so I focussed the lens at 3 inches and moved the camera up or down and the scene forward or backward until I was happy with the composition. The board was framed from corner to corner.
The box lid is used for the background to add more interest. Next I shot at different apertures and eventually decided on one that gave less depth of field which was the opposite of what I started thinking of.
Star crossed waters spreading wide
With hidden treasures , deep inside
A pathway to a future, shining bright
When you follow the star crossed light
Closeup of the pathway (marked by the dark line) for an ephemeral stream, winding its way down and around layers of sandstone.
There's a Lady who knows...
read from the mighty tome
only now the sunlight shows
a very different way home
A lateral inclination announces the Sun
a liberal view confirms recognition
a thankful sound comforts whats yet to be done
a thankless task confronts a Seasons transition
Yet...in the shadow of a Winter Lime
without motion, not a breeze to tease
this minutia is calling this time
spellbound months now ready to appease...
