They’d just made a start on building this bridge when I moved to this town.
Where Asada now stands was a pipe-yard. Pipes for what I don’t know but they came in all sizes and made for fantastic photos. Part of that yard remains as “wasteland” where migrating birds rest-up from their journey.
Where I’m standing to take this photo then was a higgledy Dickensian-looking array of boathouses reached by a narrow path between two ramshackle warehouses. I remember, redstarts nested there.
How much this has changed. Recent investment in the town has cleaned away the debris, left it modern and sterile. Thirty-eight years I’ve been in this town. Sometimes it seems like yesterday.
I sense a true story.

Yes, it is. This week hasn’t been good for thinking and spending time composing. So let’s tell it as it is. I used to come here and watch the structure as it progressed.

Unlike the walk whose photos I’m posting for Sunday. It takes all sorts of weather…

The footsteps of change and development can’t be stopped. Sometimes the changes take all the character out of the place.

It does. I loved those ramshackle places. All gone. But the town lives on.
