"surprised" in that it was totally unexpected.
It was a on a relatively short stretch of road joining two others (which I am familiar with) in a fairly typical residential area. I never would have thought that a slight detour would lead me past the stables, a paddock and chicken shed

Another gorgeous morning here.
A wee climb up Glenartney
...but it is worth it for the views
Heading back home past one of the new pylons being built for the new Beauly to Denny power line.

closest thing I get to a sunset around here - sorry about the electricity cables, but if I move to the other side of them, you don't get the trees with the sun for some strange reason. Taken on my ride home tonight.

Lovely Emma.....and these power lines seem to get in the way of so many photos don't they
Pity they couldn't all go underground but I don't think it's cost effective and would probably be harder to repair if there were faults.

When we first moved into an old farmhouse in the Lake District - as remote as you could get (directions were "if you haven't run out of tarmac, you haven't gone far enough!") our telephone line had a fault. It would ring at the incoming end, but not at our end, however we didn't know we had a problem because we could make outgoing calls fine... It turned out that the cable was underground and it took weeks of work for it to get re-wired to resolve the problem. BT had that policy then that for every day overdue on their estimate of a repair, you got a free month's line rental (if you applied for it, that is). We didn't pay line rental for nearly 2 years! But the best bit was that the nearest telephone box was 4 miles away so no-one could get hold of us! It was bliss! (In emergencies, work had agreed to take a message for us.) The new line was above ground with the rather intermittent electricity supply (22 hrs a day only)!Lovely Emma.....and these power lines seem to get in the way of so many photos don't they

A 40 miler out to Oundle and back via Woodford Mill (Northants.) for bacon butties and homemade chips they do some nice homemade cakes too 
The Mill is cyclist friendly even when we're caked in mud well worth a visit it also gets its power from the water wheel.
