Walking the roads at night’s end
.
I started the Outer Suburbs posts on 25 Aug 2018, carrying the little Olympus Tough TG-5 camera in my pocket on the long, early morning walks (LOL! >>> maybe I should say route marches!) that I take around Bristol’s outer limits, in vain pursuit of a slimmer waistline. In that first post over two years ago, I said that I had no idea of how the series might progress – and with hindsight I certainly had no idea of how a disease emanating from a “wet” market on the other side of the world was going to affect my life and the lives of vast numbers of other people across the world, and end so many peoples’ lives too.
But solitary, early morning walks have proved a good way of getting the exercise that brings real mental and physical benefits in this strange, new reality – while keeping away from the crowded and indoor spaces where the virus continues to thrive. This series of posts has photographed many things, and I’m rather taken aback to have reached number 300. Via the vaccines, there is the possibility of some light at the end of the tunnel now, although I harbour absolutely no illusions about a speedy return to normality. It is simply a case of keeping well informed about what is going on with the virus, taking all the precautions, and seeing what materialises.
Below are some earlier pictures from the series. Clicking onto any of the images here will open a larger version in a separate window – recommended.
Take care – and stay safe – everyone!
