Walls - October 2021

Here are all your submissions on the topic of "walls", starting with a series of 4 photos from Steve as he sunk lower and lower into Summerton Deep lock on the Oxford canal, at the beginning of this month.

It was a 12’ drop! The gate wouldn’t open fully and they nearly had to call Waterways to help as they thought they might not be able to escape!







Still in Oxford, here are a couple from Ken of a wall in Old Headington







Don - Chichester




Gill - a sunny Cob in Lyme Regis




John

 


...... and, not to be outdone, another ice-cream one from Jan!




Jan - a non ice-cream one taken at Beaulieu Abbey



Sue, with 2 different walls on the Isle of Wight:







Kate - Barlings Abbey.  
We arrived at our rental house in the dark and woke up the next morning to find this in the field behind us. What a wall!






Rosie - on a walk through Four Marks




Keith - newly painted lounge.  The colour is "Mizzle" - very restful!



 Here are 2 photos from Gaynor of The Great South Wall, Dublin.
(18th century engineering genius, original length 3.5 miles)

As you all seem very keen to keep going with the photographs and, as the clocks have just changed this weekend, I have decided that our next topic should be "Time".  
Make of that what you will!
