  3. #FotoVorschlag 'Am Fluss'

    Photo theme: On the river.

    This is the River Avon where it passes just to the south of Salisbury and this was taken from the hotel grounds where we spent a long weekend a few years back to explore the area. We could walk from our room straight out onto this lawn area, sit, drink, and watch the river slowly run past, and we did.

  5. Actual, hand made, artisan photo of a wild river otter. It's wild that this part of the river is basically in Bristol. #Photography #Photo #Fuji #FujiX #FujiFilm #XT30II #nature #naturephotography #animalphotography #otter #bristol #RiverAvon

  7. My first Perennial Sow-thistle of the year, beside the #RiverAvon in #Bath yesterday. I love the huge, shaggy flowers. Like someone tried to build a dandelion but bodged it a bit. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

  15. 🍺⛏️ Well, I’ve never met a giant but I understand they are argumentative things. Goram and Ghyston couldn’t agree on the best route to dig their channel, so they decided to each dig a separate one. They said that whoever finished first would impress Avona most and win her love. Not that Avona agreed to this.

  16. 🍺⛏️ People who know these things say that Avona was never interested in Goram or Ghyston, but that didn’t stop them thinking they could win her love. One day they came up with an idea to dig a channel through the hills so that the lady of the lake would be free to flow out to the sea if she wanted. That might impress her.

  17. 🍺⛏️ In that lake lived Avona, who was a kind of goddess or spirit of the water. You might call her the lady of the lake. Anyway, there were these two giants who lived on the lake’s shores - Goram and Ghyston - and they really fancied Avona. They were constantly trying to impress her and they argued often as a result.

  18. 🍺⛏️ Before the first humans came to these islands, Britain was inhabited by giants. In those days there was no gorge for the Avon to flow through. And so where Bristol and Bath are today was a huge lake which was stopped from flowing out to sea by a ridge of high ground.

  19. Can I tell you a story? 🍺⛏️ These days the River Avon flows out of the Cotswold hills and down through the cities of Bath and Bristol before cutting its way through a dramatic gorge and out to the Severn Sea. But that isn’t how it always was.
