I was returning from work on my bike (having gone a day early by mistake). The sun was rising over the Thames beyond Oday Hill and the sky was overcast and orange.
Rain was beginning to fall, and over the old dog walking field a rainbow formed. Since the start of the year, notices have appeared to say this field is Private Land. Before that there were notices to warn that it was being closed for dog walking.
Soon a full rainbow had grown.
My phone could not get all of it in at once and so here are two pictures – combined. The houses of Masefield Crescent are at the end of the rainbow.
That field would make a great place for some houses.
The first photo is wonderful. I do think we need some more detail though – “I went to work, before dawn, on the wrong day, by mistake”???? 🙂
Time for a return of the Levellers, who marched across “private land” which aristocrats were keeping the rest of us off. As they went, they challenged the claims of the landed gentry with the scriptural text: “The LORD’s is the earth and fulness thereof”. It took time, but eventually common land was restored to common people.
Your superb pictures get better and better.
If It’s closed for dog walking can you go there if you haven’t got a dog?
