I have been visiting Tavistock for over twenty years on a fairly regular basis indeed these coming months will be the fifth year that Anne and I have chosen to spend our winter here.
With all these long term visits I thought that I had got to know the area pretty well but the other day I had a bit of a surprise.
For the past few weeks there have been road works in Tavistock and this has resulted in long queues getting in and out of the town.
Anne and I had decided to go into the town to do a little shopping and Anne decided that we would go to an alternative car park than the normal one that we park in.
This would mean a slightly different route that would avoid getting caught up in the traffic jam.
The car park was on the other side of the river to our usual car park and provided us with a nice Riverside walk up towards Abbey bridge.....
I had never approached the bridge from this side of the river before and as we drew closer I suddenly saw the bridge from a totally different perspective.
From our normal parking place the bridge never seemed to look particularly attractive but by crossing the river I saw it in a whole new light.
What a difference a change of perspective makes....

It's a bit like cycling a favourite route in the opposite direction to usual, you discover different views.
ReplyDeleteTake what Dave said and DOUBLE it! That is one pretty bridge from the new perspective.

ReplyDeleteAlways good to go in the opposite direction Dave...

ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty bridge from the new perspective but from the other side of the river you probably wouldn't look twice at it Steve ....
