CFFC: Alongside


Alongside—CFFC

For this week’s challenge our host, Dan, has used theme “alongside “.

Here’s a little electric car parked alongside the kerb . I saw this in Amsterdam.

A small electric vehicle parked on a city street, featuring a black exterior and a sign labeled 'E&C'. Nearby bicycles are also visible, and the street is lined with buildings.

In Freiburg, Germany these channels called Bächles run alongside the streets in the old town.

This is St David’s Park in Hobart. It used to be a cemetery. Many of the old headstones are mounted on the walls alongside the main path. H

This was the path I had built in my old front garden.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs,Teddy and Brodie and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly.

  1. The park at the old cemetery is intriguing. I suppose the bodies are still there. I like the walkway you built, and the other photos you chose. I hope you have a nice week.
