Good - now how about attempting to deal with the existing pollution in the Wye and the Severn from these monstrous industrial facilities?

Sharpness 'pier'.
This leads into a canal lock - to the Sharpness & Gloucester Canal. Doesn't look as though it would resist much of a dunt.

The M48 #Severn #Bridge (or potentially both of them, I can't tell whether it is)! Taken over 20mi away in Standish Wood (near Randwick and Whiteshill, Stroud; roughly 290m altitude afaik) using a #GooglePixel 6 Pro. Edited in #AdobePhotoshop 2021.

I know the Cardiff one from Weston was far (~20km), but this definitely takes the impressive capabilities of this phone further. Sure, the image isn't high quality but I'm not bothered when it looks as beautiful as this.

An image of various rural areas in Gloucestershire (with Stonehouse out of frame due to it being at 20x zoom). A bridge can be seen, crossing the River Severn into Wales.

no crumb of comfort
to discern empty gestures
with such vast neglect

💕 200m into today's icy #bikeride I saw a #fox 🦊 in the nature reserve.He was too quick to photo but may have had a pixie in his jaws given where he was.The #Ironbridge and Coalport bridge looking particularly frosty and the River #Severn high. Snow due.

Is anyone else in the west of the UK keeping a worried eye on the weather? I'm seeing a bigger than usual difference between wind speed and gust speed in the met office forecast and am not currently experiencing the forecasted gusts. Looks like it will be coming from the north during the peak too, which is unusual. Interested to hear anyone else's thoughts. #UK #weather #metoffice #southwest #westcountry #wales #gloucestershire #wiltshire #somerset #devon #dorset #cornwall #Severn #bristol

This mornings #bikeride ...mist on dandy pool,a view across the #severn,a "cat" under an inclined plane and a #parkrun #Dawley #Ironbridge #Telford town park

Following the #Severn around #Shrewsbury and staying in the Zone. Bus back to Telford

It’s amazing what you discover on just a four mile #walk in the #English #countryside! Too much for one toot in fact! It’s dripping with #history. Here’s some starters.

1. A #NineteenthCentury #MilePost
2. A view of the #River #Severn vale #landscape
3. A ginormous and venerable #Black #Poplar #tree

(Three more to follow!)

Cast iron mile post with black lettering and black manicules. Pointing to #Worcester and #Bromyard.

Distant view of Malvern Hills over harvested corn fields and pasture fields, framed by the boughs of trees.

The gnarled trunk of a Black Poplar, towering over a female figure and dog revealing its enormous size

That was a long tunnel, maybe 10 minutes, and now I'm in another long one! I suspect these are under the #Severn? Or possibly the Bristol channel? #UKTrains

Severn Bridges

Views of the new and old bridges, walking from Severn Beach to Aust along the New Passage salt marsh. The new bridge has a smaller suspension area in the middle; the old bridge is the entirely a suspension construction.

Old Severn Bridge, from the salt marsh. A suspension bridge across the Severn Estuary. The grassy marshland is in the foreground. The estuary is a thin track of water in the distance. The Welsh coast is visible at the far side.

New Severn Bridge, distant view. A part-suspension bridge (middle section) across the Severn Estuary. A grassy salt marsh is in the foreground, with teasles growing just in front of the camera. The Welsh coast is just visible on the far side.
