From the album: Out and about in Somerset
...on the Strawberry Line (now National Cycle Network - route 26) running through North Somerset and Somerset, in the South West of England. You can just about make out the old platform ramp, almost buried beneath a lush growth of ivy, blackberries and all sorts of other wonderful plants! The Strawberry Line Trail currently runs from Yatton to Cheddar, mostly following the route of the old Strawberry Line Railway. There is an ongoing campaign to get the trail extended all the way to Shepton Mallet, via Wells is Somerset: Here you go...You can sign the petition, if you want! http://www.thestrawberryline.org.uk/index.php -

A lovely path for walks and cycling has been constructed on what used to be the track bed of the old Strawberry Line in North Somerset. Here, you can just about make out the platform of the long abandoned Congresby Station, hidden among the undergrowth of brambles, ivy and beautiful wild summertime flowers.

Photo taken along the A371 Axbridge By-pass, just to the North of the town. Here, the By-pass follows the former route of the Strawberry Line Railway where it was cut into the side of Axbridge Hill in the Mendips. If you look closely, you can still make out the rock edge where the cutting was made into the hillside, almost completely returned to nature now. -

The slope where I saw these beautiful wild-growing flowers (garden escapees?) used to form the North face of the old Strawberry Line Railway cutting on the Northern edge of Axbridge. The railway itself has been long-gone - the modern by-pass following the route of the old railway line to the North of the Town - but if you look closely, you can still see where the old railway line used to run... An Ordnance Survey map is a great help, in the UK. If you can see roughly where the old railway used to run, you will still be able to make out features like the weather-worn limestone bedrock where the railway was cut into the slope at Hillside, along the lower slopes of Axbridge Hill. -

From the album: Denmark
A golden harvest in Sjaeland! I love the farmland scenery in Sjealand, Denmark in the summeryime. Probably because wild flowers on the periferies of the fields are left for all to enjoy - not just spayed to death. There is also quiet a lot of fallow land around. This makes the countryside in this part of Denmark a very pleasant place to be... in the summertime, at least!! -

And a pile of felled timber drying out nicely at the side of the field. Just one of the many photos that I took on my regular 4 mile walks to King's Pub in Kalundborg, when I was staying at: Holmehuset Bed & Breakfast Kåstrup Holmevej 23, Illerup, Kalundborg, Denmark, 4400
