Jazz Under the Bridge

Walking with a friend a few days ago, we passed down King’s Stables Road, which runs around the west of Castle Rock, then passes under the King’s Bridge, right below the Castle. The bridge is an old, stone structure, with a long, tunnel-like arch, and this saxophonist was playing some cool jazz under it.

I’ve seen some musicians play here before, including another jazz player (possibly the same chap) – it isn’t the best for busking in terms of footfall, compared to nearby streets, but the acoustics of that long, stone arch are incredible, especially to an instrument like a sax. And it makes for a cool pic…

No, not a metaphor for my ongoing cancer treatment! Walking under the King’s Bridge this afternoom, brilliantly sunny day, the shadows of the old, arched bridge contrasting with the brightly lit buildings visible beyond the arch. It was begging for a monochrome shot.
