Where the path leads, nobody knows…

Since I was little, I’ve always liked paths. That sounds weird doesn’t it? OK, I know it does!
 
I blame my parents, in the best kind of way. For years they’ve had a number of paintings on the living room wall which they’ve collected from the countries they’ve lived in or visited , a few of which have paths leading through the scenes and I used to look at them often and wonder why the image of a simple path was so appealing.  
 
Dad and I agreed that there’s just something about not knowing where they lead, as if each one is the start of a potential adventure and when you look at it your mind wanders with the path.
 
I took this photo at a place nearby called Snape Maltings and every time I look at it I could get lost in thought.
 
When you look at it, where do you want the path to lead you?

  1. Beautiful. I remember as kids walking in the bush and finding little paths that took us to awesome places.

  2. Rach, re Paths. It is some time since I last wrote this down so I am not sure if I have remembered it correctly. Anyway this is a quote from Tolkien.

    “Still round the corner there may wait
    A new road or a secret gate
    And though I oft have passed them by
    A day will come at last when I
    Shall take the hidden paths that run
    West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”
