SOUTHERN (Keats) WALK

Keats took his walk on Sunday 19th September 1819 and then wrote his Ode ‘To Autumn’. I did the walk in early October, but the late onset of Autumn meant that there was still far too much in leaf to get decent pictures. These photos were taken on 10-02-03, and the photos speak for themselves. Part of this walk runs along the Clarendon Way, which continues past St Cross. Anyone brave enough to walk this, and take digital photos, can get them published free on this web site, and get the credit.
