Exploring off the beaten track

Went for my lunchtime walk feeling uninspired, then discovered a hidden pathway under a bridge I'd been crossing for ages. Found a secluded path full of interest and reminded myself that I'm taking photos for myself, not for social media validation.

Went for my lunchtime walk today feeling totally uninspired. Desperate the scratch that itch of taking some photos.

I feel like the need for validation is creeping up on me from social media, I need to remind myself that I’m taking photos for myself. Likes don’t matter, comments do though as I’d like to talk with likeminded people.

Anyway, I took my usual route and spotted a pathway which I had never noticed before. The pathway went under a bridge, a bridge which I cross just to get to my usual destination. This path took me under the train bridge and down a secluded path with a load of interest.
