OGF will likely recognise this scene. It’s the approach to the Humber Bridge. The photo was taken some years back, late afternoon travelling from Withernsea to Doncaster. Saw the opportunity for the photo and took it through the car windscreen (Mrs mart driving)…

It’s a section of the A 63 called the ‘Clive Sullivan Way’ whoever he was…

I always fancied riding a bike across the bridge but that would have been difficult to plan. We didn’t drive over it either. That road goes under the approach to it as I remember? A fair journey from Withernsea to Doncaster.
We’d always drive to Withernsea for a day to see Mrs mart’s sister. My first trip to Withernsea was many ears earlier though. I’d be around 24 when I went to Sutton-on-Hull to stay with my brother who was in the RAF and stationed nearby

I’ve cycled over the bridge twice Mart, once when I did a charity bike ride with the lads from work, Scun thorpe to Hull marina and back 46 miles (Ill try and find the photo of the motley crew) and once from home along the A63 over the bridge and home via A18 Scun Thorpe to Doncaster. 76 miles. Was a while ago though…
I once did 54 miles from Blackwater (Hampshire) to Southsea and another local round circuit of 48 miles (not so much fun). There’s a neighbour of ours that used to do the London to Brighton ride. He has really bad arthritis now. Sad to see a fit man go down.

Another piccie from our family get together in Brighton yesterday.
I’m glad we ventured onto the ride ‘before’ lunch!
Apologies for the fuzziness!

I’m a bit envious of how full your jasmine is blooming. Mine at home doesn’t seem to want to flower at all!

Little story behind this photo.
My intention was to photograph in high definition but this caused me a few issues. First was wating for the rose bud to keep still. Then came the distance v focus problems. after all that there was still trying to keep the camera rock steady. Even on a tripod wasn’t successful enough due to flower movement. so I tried various set ups ie manual focus -aperture and shutter priority etc etc
So eventually gave up and took the above as normal.
Now Microsoft with their latest update have “F*** UP” transfer from editing suite onto the computer , which has already been pointed out to them. now have to go into desktop to find them
Why on earth they just can’t leave things as they were beats me
