Under the Ivy

Under the Ivy
Captured at Steart Drove, Stockland Bristol, Somerset.

I liked the way the wall curves and then just stops, the reason for it being there maybe long forgotten. I also found the ivy on the wall quite attractive.

I have added a song by Kate Bush called 'Under the Ivy'

The image is probably best viewed large I think please.

Fantastic impression of the combination of wall and ivy. And I like the view over the wall. The horizon seems to be endless. The best wishes for you, Carol !

Thank you very much Percy. Through the gate on the horizon lies the start of Bridgwater Bay, part of the Bristol Channel.

Best wishes Percy. Enjoy the rest of your week

A sturdy wall that appears to be isolated, love the colour in the stone and the overtaking ivy, HWW

Ecobird club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Thank you very much Roger. I imagine it must have been attached to something that has since been demolished. It looks a little strange there though.

Very nice shot Carol, HWW

Ecobird club has replied to Mario Vargas club
Thank you very much Mario. It is a nice walk when the weather conditions allow. The curved wall that goes nowhere is a bit of an oddity and so it always captures the eye.

Ecobird club has replied to Malik Raoulda club
Thank you very much Malik. I don't know but imagine it may well have been attached to a building which has since been demolished. I would be surprised if the field was used for cattle as there is nothing beyond the wall to keep them in!!

HWW and have a lovely evening

A beautiful old wall, extending back up the hill. Have to wonder about it, particularly with the few bricks at left suggesting a possible earlier structure.
20 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to tiabunna club
Thank you very much George. Yes it is strange but it may well have been attached to a barn or building that was later demolished. I imagine the feild does not get ussed for cattle or they would end up out in the road!

Have a lovely evening

I imagine there was once a gate at the foot of this wall.
20 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Pat Del club
Thank you very much Pat. It may well have had a gate, and maybe another wall or a building that has fallen down or been demolished. The remaining wall is strangely attractive, perhaps because of the cuve and the ivy.

Enjoy the rest of your week

Thank you very much Henri. Beyond the horizon lies the start of Bridgwater Bay and the Bristol Channel. Whilst not strictly beautiful in a chocolate box pretty kind of way there are some lovely little points of interest to photograph along the way

A great find Carol. The curve of the wall towards the gate and the texture of the stones, combined with the warm tones and the ivy seemingly pouring over the wall makes for a fine photograph.

Enjoy your evening, Doug
20 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Thank you for your lovely comments Doug. I liked the ivy too and it is interesting you say that it looks 'poured over' the wall. Judite thought it looked like a shawl draped over it! I can see both.

Have a good evening. Best wishes Carol

Hi Carol
I like this picture very much!
It is a very interesting puzzle. I spent a while looking on Google, and I can see a definite rote from the road to the sea alongside the wall, so perhaps it was a minor road, path, or even drainage ditch, and the curve of the wall was to strengthen the corner.
Best Wishes, HWW,, and stay safe!!

Ecobird club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Thank you very much Peter. I am pleased you like it. You could be right, or it could just be that whatever it was attached to has now fallen down or been demolished. Thank you for your interest and for looking it up for me.
