Below Abbey Bridge

Not a long walk today before opening the gallery so I took the dogs for a stroll alongside the river but below the Abbey Bridge this time. It was a bright frosty morning and before the trees come into leaf I was hoping to get a good view or two of the bridge and other interesting features of this section of the Tees. Sadly there is now a increase or riverside "scrub" which obscures these points of interest.

Abbey Bridge, even here this delightful arched bridge is difficult to photograph without being veiled by branches etc. Further downstream is "The Meeting of the Waters" where the river Greta and Tees join, a scene made famous by Turner in one of his watercolours. Nearby is The Dairy Bridge, another location popular with artists which can no longer be enjoyed to full effect thanks to the encroachment of undergrowth.

I might just "have a word" with one or two people about the problem, after all, it would be a shame if  nothing was done to "show off" some of the jewels that Teesdale has to offer.

Any thoughts anyone? (In the hope that someone actually reads my jottings here!)
