Hidden

The arch hides a short tunnel which provides a small boat house.

The Far Bank

I’m not sure there’s any fishing allowed in the reservoir, but this spot is one I would have chosen in my days when I was a keen angler. (I still have all the gear in the garage, but it might take some sorting out!).

I know we tend to go for perfect reflections but on balance I think I prefer the ones like this, where the water is just moving gently and a slightly longer shutter speed gives a more satin like texture.

By The Water

Went out for a short trip to check the new new alternator was working properly in the car – destination decided as a revisit for a shot I wanted to retake.  Took this while I was there  – another of what seems to be my ‘location of the moment’ – Thrusscross Reservoir in North Yorkshire.  This one from the roadway that crosses the dam.

Bath House Revisited

I walked along the local river at the weekend – on the lookout for any wildlife.   Didn’t see anything unusual, but took a shot of the Bath House with its reflection on the River Wharfe.

Autumn III – Georgian Bath House

This rather unassuming building is a Georgian Bath House.  Designed for cold baths, it was built before 1824, it has been taken into care by the Wetherby Town Council.

Autumn 2 – Idyllic

Idyllic? – well it’s a spot that would suit me!

Reeds

The reed heads don’t show up so well when front lit, but with this strong back lighting they certainly caught the eye against the darker trees.
