In Celtic myth, water was the way to the Otherworld . . .

Bridge over Wensum at Norwich

A ‘reflection’ of the Otherworld? Or the bridge that takes us there? Photo taken 20 June 2017, bridge over Wensum on outskirts of Norwich

We need only think of the Lady of the Lake, or the many offerings found in the Thames . . . swords, skulls and shields, for the way to the Otherworld was also said to be a slender bridge made by a sword.

I wasn’t thinking of any of that when I took this photo, only  how perfectly that bridge was reflected in the water.
