Pilgrims Way

Posted by Monkey in the Jungle (Bridgnorth, United Kingdom) on 14 November 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is a picture of the foot causeway that pilgrims take to the island of Lindisfarne. The following is a poem written by Sir Walter Scott about the island and it's tide.

For with the flow and ebb, its style
Varies from continent to isle;
Dry shood o'er sands, twice every day,
The pilgrims to the shrine find way;
Twice every day the waves efface
Of staves and sandelled feet the trace.

It's such an amazing place, so beautiful and loads of photo opportunities.

The tide means you have to stay on the island and explore. I think me and my Abi were on the Island for about 4 hours or something and there was still so much we didn't get to have a proper look at. We were shattered by the end of that time though.

The problem with sharing a camera and then looking back through the images on my computer is that I can't remember who took what photo.

My pictures may be sparce at the moment as I have just started using old school film and am slowly building a collection.
