Chelmsford and Sky 3:00 am
… into eternity.
This is from one side of the “lake” in the park in town. What you can see at the bottom is trees, a few houses from across the river directly in front, and to the rght is the aquaduct that the trains run on. Above that is an awful lot of pretty blue sky.
The lake is not exactly a lake. It’s not big enough, and it’s manmade. It doesn’t even have a name – it’s just the lake in central park. It’s stocked with fish, I know, since people fish there, but I don’t know when or how it was made. Mother said, once, that she heard german bombers were trying to hit the viaduct, missed barely, and the bombs made a big hole that filled with water (and since the park already has a river running through it and is in actuality a flood plain, it would fill very quickly).
The shape of it befits that story, although I doubt its truth. It’s an odd triangular tear shape that would vaguely corroborate with a few dropped bombs.
And it is extremely close to the viaduct. Se’rous’leh.
After a factfinding mission that brings me close to annoyance, the only fact I can find is that Central Park itself was opened in 1894. I must find out more! … hm…
