This lovely view of Ladybower reservoir was taken from the site of the old vicarage for Derwent Village and looking towards where the village originally stood before the valley was flooded.
It was a lovely spot and the light was fantastic. However this spot appears to be on the flight path for numerous airlines as can be seen from the many vapour trails criss-crossing the sky. There was no chance of getting a shot without them so I decided to make them a feature of the picture.
A break from the wintery images for today with a shot of the support structure beneath a bridge across the River Ribble into Avenham Park and then secondly a picture of one of the benches along the riverside walk in the park.
I think these are quite strong images with the brutal lines and angles of the concrete supports and the strong geometric pattern in the ironwork of the bench and I have chosen them as a contrast to the bright and delicate ice crystals of my last few posts.
