path

Chichester still boasts an encircling Roman wall which has been restored with a walking path – After our time in the cathedral we completed the short, 1½-mile circuit.

Tree-lined

A couple of Saturdays ago we joined the Farnham Ramblers on a coach trip to Salisbury in Wiltshire and went on a 6 — 7-mile ramble. This is a lovely shaded walk at the Northwest end of the Cathedral. I’ll be posting pictures from that trip over the coming days.

Utopia

I’m planning to enter a contest themed around the concept of “utopia,” Thomas More’s famous place-name from the Greek “no place” (but punning on “good place”). I have chosen to work on liminal spaces, those that are on the threshold between one place and another, spaces that are not places. Here, I present some recent candidates from my perambulations around Farnham. Click any of the images below (in the browser, not email) to see them larger.

All Gone

I posted a picture from this same spot just a couple of weeks ago when the trees were in their full Autumn glory. Now the leaves are all gone.

Autumn in Farnham Park

Another walk in Farnham Park, a couple of weeks ago. Click any on the pictures below to see them full-sized.

La Petite Ceinture

We also walked the length of La Petite Ceinture, a disused ancient railway line that has been transformed into a park. I had been hoping that it would be a little like the High Line in NY, affording me elevated views of the surrounding area but it was really the opposite, sunken and surrounded by tall trees, dark and lovely.
