Friday at the Flicks - Disturbed Ants + Homeward Drive

FATTHEF

I was moving some planters around when I found the inevitable ants nest under one. They immediately started rushing about moving their eggs to a safe place:



This time, by special request from Mick in Australia, the journey home from the Wagon and Horses has been saved at 1x, normal speed.  I am told the burned out house near the start of the journey is the final result of a domestic dispute. The journey ends when I stopped off at a post office near home:



At normal speed the Hyperlapse also saves the sound so you get the same music I was listening to during the journey.

  1. Poor ants. That was a very sedate drive.

    1. TWG: It's fairly varied but off the main roads it's definitely countrified.

  3. amazingly smooth road trip. Your software does a great job at minimizing the jostles or maybe its just that the suspension in your car is excellent! ;-) cheers.

    1. Wilma: The back roads are pretty bumpy. The software smooths them all out.

  4. Wow! I loved the drive - thanks! Your area is beautiful and so very different from out here. Of course the vegetation is different - so much like the English picture books I used to have as a child! The most obvious difference apart from trees and shrubs is that everything grows so very close to the road. The hedges make it look like you are driving through a green tunnel. Your road verges (shoulders?) are almost non-existent! I have about 4 meters from my boundary fence to the gutter (drain) and then at least that again to the edge of the road. This is a little wider than average as the street is a main one and it is intended sometime for it to be widened. Are those red public pay phone boxes? We used to have them until the phone people got tired of them being broken! Someone was always "fixing" them so they didn't take your money and you got a free phone call!

    1. Mick: Pleased you enjoyed it. The roads and verges are narrow on the back roads as many are just old mediaeval tracks which have become roads. When the land was enclose in the 17th Century it was fenced pretty well right up to the tracks. Verges are wider on main roads.
      The red boxes with lots of little windows are the old public telephone boxes. Gradually disappearing now as they get used less. They do attract vandals.

  5. Busy little ants ~ looks like the red bitey kind... eeps! Well, I did enjoy being along for the ride. Whenever I watch driving in Britain, I have to take a minute to make sure I'm on the proper side of the road when I leave home ;) No roundabouts in your video so it wasn't mind boggling at all. Would those roadways be classed as B roads?

    1. Glo: Yes! They are the red bitey ones. Most of the journey was on unclassified roads. I think somewhere in government circles they are called C and D roads.
