Ablaze


I didn't expect a late afternoon walk in the rain would conjure up any photos. It was more a case of clearing my head and getting some thinking space... so I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful these trees looked, alongside the river that was swirling around dramatically after heavy rain. This was taken a couple of weeks ago, from the aqueduct that carries the canal over the river. The colours were deepening but a few days of high wind and rain afterwards stripped a lot of the foliage. It's amazing how subtly and yet, with hindsight, how fast nature changes her clothes.

  1. Yes Jenny, I can visualize where you stood here, just before the Dowley Gap curve, atop the seven arches. A nice space to breathe.

  2. Perfect photo the way the trees cascade along with the flow of the river, and right at the end on the left, a low tree points the way.
