Wooded Walk Part Two

So to continue our walk,

and where I left off yesterday...

more fallen trees!

But before we got to them,

Jewel heard, smelt,

or saw something.

A deer most probably.

She got all excited,

and jumped around a bit.

You can see her here looking all alert.

And here she is jumping over one of the fallen trees.

We did eventually make it as far as here in the photo below,

where we can overlook the river.

Unfortunately not an inspiring photo of a barge.

The sky is still blue.

From our vantage point overlooking the river,

we can follow it's course

and see Bernkastel in the distance.

Can you see the castle on the hill?

I watched as they set off fireworks from it

in September during the wine festival.

Ahhh yes,

we still have all that to look forward to.

I stopped to take one last photo,

or two,

while Mike took all 4 hounds.

But they didn't get very far,

more fallen trees.

So we had to go back the way we came,

back to where we started.

Once back in the car

the sun was setting over the far side of the valley

and I couldn't resist

snapping away at it.

The photos turned out not too bad,

despite

a bumpy road.

Once back in the valley,

the blue skies and the sunset had disappeared

leaving a grey light,

and photos only fit for the delete button.
