Walking Group – Week 2

For their second walk, the group headed down to the riverside and followed the Clyde walkway as far as the Tradeston Bridge then back along the south of the river and across the South Portland Street Suspension Bridge.

Lots of photographs and lots of chat along the way and one of the walkers wrote this moving and thought provoking piece about his experience.

"I walked through the streets, not trodden by my feet for so long. Probably, definitely a terribly long time.

Past places that have been, but over time have now a different theme. My childhood overtaken by the modern made me feel blue that I had missed the gradual change in my city centre. But for all the modern, I hankered for the things that are now long gone – I don’t know when.

So with camera in hand I went on safari through the changed landscape, trying to put it into a new mindscape. I think that we always look but don’t see. Using a camera changed that in me as I happily stopped, not just to look, but to really see, happy to relax and not rush fleetingly through.
Looking through my lens I focussed not just on what was around me, but also in some ways, within me."
