Photostory Friday - A66

Some images taken whilst I was travelling along the A66 to and from 
Scotch Corner, Northumberland  to Penrith Cumbria.
 I slowed right down and pointed the mobile phone out of the window, 
hoping to catch something of the views
as the skies and rural scenes were breathtakingly lit by the lowering sun.

    Nice story but not much actual exciting road, road-sign or tarmac action! :(

    Maybe that wasn't the point but your were a tease with your 'A66' post title!

Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise.

And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
