A continuing exploration of the valley finds blackthorn thickets everywhere. This is the one seen from within in Image and coming into flower. Flowering time varies: just upstream is Image; the more open situation may be a factor. The river is out of view, right. This land had other uses once: behind the camera is a decaying concrete security fence post.
