Spanning the #RiverSevern amidst the lush #ShropshireCountryside, the Iron Bridge in Ironbridge is an iconic #HistoricBridge and part of the celebrated #IronbridgeGorge. Recognised as a #WorldHeritageSite, it is famed for being the world’s first major bridge constructed from cast iron, symbolising the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Visitors can stroll across the bridge and enjoy sweeping views of the wooded gorge and the picturesque village below. The area is a popular destination for history enthusiasts and walkers exploring the scenic trails along the riverbanks.

A new, daily work in progress
A walk of 10952 paces | in the space between time passing and time arriving | a solitary giant stands in an ancient field | limbs lost in long forgotten storms | tracery of shadows passes

in history's shade
once in its prime it stood, now
bit by bit exits

A new, daily work in progress
A walk of 10952 paces | in the space between time passing and time arriving | approaching low tide, breeze blown grasses on exposed banks | trees and flotsam discarded where fast waters chose

strong wind nips my flesh
such joy on mornings like this
cold winter's input

Here's me and my brother circa 1980 for #ThrowbackThursday and this would have been a stop at a service station before passing over the Severn Bridge into dark and scary Wales en route to a ferry crossing from Fishguard or Holyhead to Ireland to visit family.

A new, daily work in progress
A walk of 9352 paces between 2 bridges | shapes formed by tidal flows | lagan interrupts its long journey | heron's guilty footprints

how much goes unclaimed?
history sunk in tidal mud
awaiting finders

A new, daily work in progress
A walk of 9352 paces between 2 bridges | in the mud remnants of wooden putchers | in the sky, traffic rumbles | in the rocks, history lingers

this major event
when spring tides come charging in
sea's gifts unloaded
