Castle in the sun. This is a roll of expired #AgfaVista 200 from my #Olympus #mju2 pocket camera. A roll does often take quit a long time, given I'm mostly interested in black and white in cameras where I have more control, so most images on this roll are from last autumn!

Autumn beech tree colour. This area is right beside the main road into Coventry, a 2-mile long avenue with woodland strip each side. A taxi-driver once told me an American passenger had labelled this road a "million dollar ride to a ten cent city"! Ouch.

Stile in the sun. (I'm never sure how much the concept of a stile needs explaining to folk who don't have ancient footpath rights of way, but I guess it's self-explanatory!) The field it leads into is known locally as "Parliament Piece", see https://www.khas.co.uk/archives-parliament-piece-kenilworth-metal-detector-survey/.

@carusb I learned of these through UK YouTube photographers, what a great concept for land use rights. I understand you can also camp for a night in some areas while transiting?
@shom Footpaths in England and Wales (not Scotland) are ancient rights of way; it's quite hard to extinguish them, thankfully. Wild camping rights are currently very controversial; the only place you could do it legally without consent in England/Wales was Dartmoor but some bastard hedge fund guy bought up the land and managed to extinguish the wild camping right, subject to appeal October this year! But if you Leave No Trace you'll usually be safe...
@carusb that's disappointing to hear. Not that I was ever going to attempt it as a brown foreigner, but still a bummer to hear.
I like jurisdictions where there are public right of ways to nature. Hawaii has a lot of colonial land use problems but all beaches are public and have access requirements. I got to do a shore scuba dive off of the property of a 5 star resort without staying there, that's nice!
@shom Scotland has Right To Roam law, which makes up for the lack of public footpaths (there are also plenty of long distance trails). I think the majority of UK foreshore (between high and low water) is owned by the Crown Estate, but that doesn't necessarily allow access, except again in Scotland where there is, apparently, a common law right. Note, IANAL.
@carusb you're not getting out of this with a disclaimer, I'm quoting you if I get in trouble ;)
