First image of what is intended to be a long term project #10milesfromhome
I live in Abingdon so not blessed with the beauty of the National Parks and as a lot of people have done I have been doing a lot of local walking the last weeks and started to realise you dont rally apprecaite whats on your doorstep.
So the #10milefromhome project was born, to make it simple I drew a 10 mile radius circle on a OS map and anything within that circle qualifies to be in the project.
This one is from Abingdon Weir looking upstream on the River Thames just after sunrise.

Gorgeous Autumn colours over the falls on the river Dart.
Dartmoor National Park ; A place to visit.
The steep land on the left is very unstable and is being eroded with landslides occasionally. At the head of the valley is a fairly substantial house and it is the highest occupied house on the Isle of Man. When I was a child it was the retreat of a Doctor, there was no electricity etc. It is still technically off the grid as it has its own wind turbines and perhaps generators. It has been substantially altered and "improved" since the doctor had it.
Standing in the drive way of my new house last night I enjoyed this view to the North up the stream. The little old thatched-roof house in the right foreground was bought by a famous artist from Tokyo I'm told! I don't know if he's living there now or not but someone is.
I will lose my internet connection tomorrow, March 31. I still don't know when my new house will be hooked up but I'm working on it. Don't forget me too quickly!

I'm going with Western Gull here because of the pinky legs. The gull was foraging in the rocks in one of the many coves of California's Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. Each time a swell would surge in, it would have to temporarily relocate or fight its way back to position.
Meanwhile, I have a friend who has a favorite saying: "If it feels like you're swimming upstream, it's 'cause you probably are". I thought this exemplified that perfectly. And view this large!

Tiny creek Wilisch in the beautiful Ore Mountains. I really love the atmosphere there. A mixture between wilderness, mining tradition and an old steam track. I do not know why, but I belive the Uranium did something strengh with my cameras sensor ... .
Thanks for coming and enjoy your evening!

When entering Alvoco da Serra, we come across a bridge which offers some nice views, both up and downstream. This upstream one is a favourite of mine.

Looking upstream along the North Saskatchewan River at the Cirrus Mountain Viewport. I can only imagine what this looks like in spring with a full river and a waterfall coming down the side of Cirrus Mountain. Guess I'll have to come back!
