Not sure it could be classed as a hole more like the bank of the river Thames. This photo was taken on a walk about to show how the places along the Thames near where I live had changed in the last 45 years.

The Swimming Hole

I love water....Nice place for a picknick !!
ReplyDelete"O" yes believe me we did and Sunday Afternoon used to get quite crowded, now you have to fight through the shrubbery to get to the place.
DeleteIt does look different now:)Beautiful place!Have a great day!

Cattle used to graze there and drink from the Thames here when I was a kid.
DeleteLooks like a good place to fish as well. I think it's changed for the better!
ReplyDeleteNice.

Fishing was better further along though I did see pike in the shallows before now.
DeleteLooks like it's changed quite a bit! Nice photos, Bill.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the only thing :))
DeleteStill looks good. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteYes more that you can say for me though.
DeleteLooks a lovely spot, I like it better now actually but it would be troublesome for fishing.
ReplyDeleteIt's become like that because the cattle that grazed there have gone now.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of the Thames, I think of it flowing through London and imagine concrete river banks. This reminds me of the river landscapes in the California Central Valley and the foothills Sierra Mountains.
ReplyDeleteI need to show you more of the Thames, London is not the place to see it.
DeleteIt looks lovely. You must have had some great times growing up. Is that a bird nesting in the grass?
ReplyDeleteI grew up playing on the riverbanks of the Avon River at Stratford (in Australia)
I did and miss them,that was a very carefree summer and ended a couple of weeks after that when I started work. Can't see a bird in the photo but that does not mean they were not nesting round there.
