West of the Town

Sunday 30 November 2014

Martos

These 2 photos are from the same place at different times. Whilst not quite the same angle, they are one of the more elevated views over the town.

The night picture was clearer weather. As you may spot, the daytime view of the hill is obscured by mist.

The spot is near the large church on the hill, and in the evening it is well lit up making a clear landmark over the town. So you would think it should be easy to find. But no. The old town streets and houses below it cause the roads to twist and turn in confusing ways. And the houses themselves are not so much tall, but being close together they obscure any view of the church once you get close.

So you head for the church but the road turns you away. There are no-through roads, by-ways, and nothing straight. So the first time I tried to walk there I failed. These photos are the result of finding a route and the tracing the reverse direction the next day.

It is still not easy, but I am beginning to recognise some landmarks on the way.
