BACKTRACK

[Julian de'Courcy]

This is the path I used to get to primary school. About a mile, then change the welly boots and into school shoes, as soon as wee hit the road. The wellies were left hidden in the hedge for the afternoon walk home. Seems an awfully long time ago.

Superb....!! It looks very real, nice colours. It looks like it was taken on film.

Looks a scary walk for a school kid, especially when dark. Makes a superb shot, though.

Lovely shot, Julian and a nice back-story to go with it. Adds more significance somehow.

Thanks Rob. Scary. That was the odd thing when kids at school talked about horror movies about mist and dark woods, my thoughts were 'scary? that's normal' .

Thank you Pete. These woods contain many a story

There is no way any kid would be allowed to walk that route these days- mind it would justify the Chelsea Tractor for the school run, nevermind if one splashes the poor kids with mud.

Wonderful image, wonderfully colourised if I may say so and yes quite some years ago I gather. I love the story of yours too and for taking us back when I wished I had had a camera

Thanks Ivar. Yes the time I spent working overseas at Sixteen, Noth and South Africa, Seychelles, middle east and so on I have no images from, I wished I had had a camera. I salivate on the thought now of being there then with a camera, although would I struggle with such wonderful colours?

When you were there, surely it would all have been black and white, Julian!

At it's best very muted and the closer we sailed towards California the horizon looked , well a bit lopsided

 

[Pete Askew]

Yes, apparently much of the West Coast slopes a bit.

And fly kites and stars show in the day

 

[Pete Askew]

So I hear!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

So I hear!

I'm going to hide now

 

[Peter McCullough]

That image looks so real that you could literally step inside that photograph and splash in that puddle and walk through the woods --- wOw

I think you'd better mate.

I'd wondered why my shoes were muddy this morning!
