The Salt Path at Mountbatten

I don’t believe there are many days when I don’t walk on the Salt Path. I went to see the film yesterday.

Two actors whose work I admire and a beloved landscape.   Versus a book, that I was never quite comfortable with.

People who love the book often question why I don’t love it.

For me, many of the scenarios are  implausible. The book seems to straddle between fact and fictionalised ‘fact’

I didn’t love the film either despite the landscape and the actors. Although I thought both the acting and cinematography were subtle and beautiful. The straddle of fact and fiction discombobulated me.

So one book done, one film done and I still need to be persuaded.

This photograph straddles fact and fiction on the Salt Path.

Two evening photographs taken about 5 seconds apart and with a shift to the west of about 2 degrees. Digitally stuck together as a double exposure and then tidied up.

Photography straddling fact and fictionalised fact on the Salt Path.

P.s What is to be done? Apparently I need to read the second and possibly the third book to gain enlightenment. Let’s see how that goes…

Both now ordered from the library.
