They say a picture paints a thousand words and there have been some lovely photos on GN recently. I am a visual person and, especially at this time, pictures cheer me up. Autumn scenes, people's gardens, cake baking, craftwork, pets, clothes we fancy buying etc. Even stock images of Boris, royalty etc.
What is the general feeling? Are they superfluous or do they add another dimension? Are we "allowed" to just drop them into a non photographic thread?

Your bridge photos look like the Severn Bridge to me Namsnanny.

I think it is.

Here’s one of my favourite bridges, taken last year at the end of a very happy holiday.
Looks like you had a beautiful walk, corner A lovely day here today, when the sun eventually broke through!

Two bridges, Dartmoor National Park, January this year.

Tower Bridge last year, it seems an absolutely ago now.

Somewhere I’ve a photo of the underside of the second Severn crossing, maybe the original bridge too, I’ll look tomorrow. No promises though grin.

It’s a few years since we visited Two Bridges Ellianne, good memories over a number of years we were last there with the family about 8 years ago, goodness, how did that time pass? Your photo reminded me we had been to Bourton on the Water a few weeks ago.

Following on the picture of the Forth bridge, here it is viewed from the café at the Sea Life Centre.

Oh, I nearly forgot the Bridge over the Atlantic, that takes you over to the island of Seil in W. Scotland.

I love that shallow river at Bourton cornergran.

Ellianne Sat 07-Nov-20 08:35:32

Yes, Bourton is a place I need to visit.

This is a photo of the "Alston arches" near to where I live. It used to carry a branch line, now it is a footpath. The view from up there is lovely. I must take a photo next time I go for a walk.

Love the “Bridge over the Atlantic” hellogirl and the unusual view of the Forth Bridge too. Big or small, they all have their own beauty. Here’s a little one from a park near us, taken earlier this week.

This old packhorse bridge is over the upper Derwent before it flows down into Howden reservoir. A very pretty place for a picnic.

That reminds me of cream teas!

Found the Severn bridges. We booked a trip on the Balmoral, sister ship to the Waverley, back in 2016. Not a sunny day but very enjoyable, we also passed under the Clifton SuspensionBridge, quite a spectacular sight. Looking back made me realise how much we did that year, it was packed, so many good experiences. Aren't photos great as reminders?

Oh the memories that picture of Bourton on the Water brought back. Many times we took our granddaughter there. She would paddle in the River Windrush and we would have lunch outside a pretty pub by the river. Happy days. smile

Isn't that a sparrowhawk?

You're right beechnut and Callistemon Thanksblush

This bridge on the river Tyne is lovely to see at night.

Namsnanny Sat 07-Nov-20 17:01:34

We were here last year, enjoying a cream tea, but for the life of me I cant remember the name of the village or the river!

It's in Wales, that much I know smile

Can anyone help me out?

Ellianne Sat 07-Nov-20 17:16:42

Here's a stab in the dark namsnanny.
Dyfi bridge, Maccynlleth?

Ellianne Sat 07-Nov-20 17:34:20

Or maybe Llanrwst bridge?
Its bound to have a double ll in it somewhere! grin

Namsnanny Sat 07-Nov-20 17:53:33

Thats it Ellianne ... Llanrwst!! Inigo Jones Bridge over the river Conway, I think!

Namsnanny Sat 07-Nov-20 17:55:11

Beautiful place. We would have gone back this year if it was possible. Next year maybe.

Ellianne Sat 07-Nov-20 17:57:56

Crikey. I've just found out it is 17th century!

All of Wales is beautiful.

Beechnut Sat 07-Nov-20 17:58:36
