1000 words. Photos on GN.

(1001 Posts)

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?

Lisagran nearly!
Ellianne Well done, it's the early stages of the Second Severn Crossing, now the Prince of Wales Bridge. Picture taken from the English side.

Sorry Kate, for mixing you up with Kitty!
Ellianne, is that Sidmouth, My hubby took a photo of me standing near those railings. That`s assuming I`m right, of course, lol!

Hellogirl you join the winners' team! We're good at this!
That cliff behing you is eroding almost on a weekly basis. Lots of rock falls but some people still insist on walking under it.

It was a free trip over the Prince of Wales Bridge, only you're not allowed into Wales!

Ellianne, is that the reason for the extra railings across the beach at that end? My pic was taken in 2003.

Maybe if you enlarge it you can see from a different angle Hellogirl.
The Western end is prettier.

Sidmouth doesn`t look to have changed very much in the 17 years since we were there, I loved those cliffs.

Some places never change much, therein lies their charm.
If you think about it, even London - with all its new glass buildings and skyscrapers - still retains its old historical heart.

LauraNorder What a great place to live with a family. Lovely!
... but where has all the sand gone? Cable Bay always had lots of pebbles and Church Bay sort of 1/3 pebbles but Borthwen was once almost all sand! I've just googled Borthwen images and was amazed at the changes.

Notspaghetti, we have big storms and the beaches change for a year or so sometimes stones, sometimes tonnes of seaweed then after a while the sand returns. Borthwen has been stony for a good many years, shame cos it used to be one of the sandiest.
How do you know the area? Did you live here or holiday?
