The canal has been part of my life for over 15 years since moving to our current house over looking tunnel pool near Leek. It's the first thing I see every morning, its proximity means that a quick walk nearly always includes a stretch of it's banks and its ever changing face means I never tire of it. Over the years the canal has featured in many of my images but this is the first time that it has had star billing.
The images are a mix of digital photographs and slides, taken along the Leek and Caldon branches of the Trent and Mersey Canal over a number of years and most of the images are being exhibited for the first time.
This small stretch of canal, only about 10 miles in length, running down the picturesque Churnet Valley, it is very lightly used and has a quiet backwater feel to it, lots of deserted stretches and over hanging trees.
my 12 yr old can take a better pic than that lol
ReplyDeleteNice work Brett, arch reflections always look so good.
ReplyDeleteNice reflections and colours, my fave bridge subject is Cheeryeye further along the canal.
ReplyDeleteDon't fancy meeting a 12 year old of such prodigious talent with such a gutless anonymous parent.
After blogging for over 4 years I have found that its really is not worth taking any notice of anonymous comments, if someone has something to say that is worth while they will put their name to it.
DeleteGreat image!
ReplyDeleteNice composition and reflection too.
