More dull pictures of the River Taw
It was a nice day, beautiful sunset and nothing ever happens in Barnstaple. Is that a good enough excuse?

The Bridges of Barnstaple
The Longbridge at Barnstaple across the the River Taw has carried traffic for centuries. But, now the town suffocates in cars and trucks.
Behold, the Downstream Bridge...
Carrying the Barnstaple Western Bypass, this ugly concrete structure is nearly complete. Springtime sees the bypass open and Barnstaple's traffic woes disappear.

Little Fluffy Clouds
The weather has turned. Gone are the gales and rain. It's ice and cold. As the days grow slightly longer, the walk along the Taw is in twilight. This is the Longbridge in the glow before sun up.
Photo effect fun with this picture is an extreme possibility. A Turneresque end product would most likely be the result.
the skies always had little fluffy clouds in 'em, and they were long, clear, and there were lots of stars, at night. And when it would rain, they would all turn - They were beautiful, the most beautiful skies as a matter of fact. Um, the sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire, and the clouds would catch the colors everywhere. That's uh, neat cause I used to look at them all the time, when I was little.
