I must admit I had a little giggle to myself when I wrote the title of this little blog and photo collage. Salisbury is such a conservative, but beautiful city. I do just like wandering around and taking random shots. I’m sure it has all the problems that blight most communities, excessive drink and drug use, employment, crime, etc. Salisbury just has a good way of hiding it.
My home town is Stockton on Tees. On a recent visit home I went for a walk and climbed the beautiful Roseberry Topping. It was also a beautiful sunny day. Possible the first day in 2013 where I experienced rays of sun on the back of my neck after the dark and wet winter.
On frequent walks I often see these dedication plaques fixed to park benches. Yesterday I saw one that was dedicated to two people who had lost their lives when the Titanic sank. On the same walk I came across this one, which was equally profound.
The floods came to the south west and whilst Salisbury was not the worst hit by far the water left many impressions of just how vulnerable we all are when mother nature decides to wage her finger at us. I took these shots whilst out walking with Poppy. The lake in the first photograph is not supposed to be there – in fact since the rains stopped its not.
A distorted photo that I’ve filtered to death until the pix are starting the scramble up.
