Wolf River Falls

I've not managed to post every day recently but I have been getting some good shots.

Today I was at Wolf River Falls innorthern Ontario. I got some fabulous pictures of the falls and I even went behind the falls for some.

This was shot using my phone, I built the stack and tried to capture the falls I softer focus in the background.

Snowy Cascade

This is the last picture from my walk in Betws y Coed that I will be sharing. It is a shot of the Afon Llugwy as it flows into the village just before the falls at Pont-y-Pair Bridge.

I think this is a great winter scene that captures how cold it was. It is a lovely spot and in the summer it would be heaving with visitors many paddling and splashing in the shallows but on this particular day it was almost deserted and it was great to be there and undisturbed..

Splishing and Splashing

For today I have chosen three views of a waterfall. This was near to the Miners Bridge across the River Llugwy at Betws y Coed in North Wales. It is the same waterfall I posted a slo-mo video of on my facebook page recently. It is a beautiful sight and it sounds fantastic too.

Riverside Walk

The first of today's pictures is of the River Ribble at Frenchwood, looking towards Walton Le Dale, I really like the sky in this picture and I like the way the ripply clouds are counter-posed with the ripples in the river below.

The second picture is of the Riverside Walk and avenue of magnificent horse chestnut trees in Avenham Park. I had been waiting for a moment to capture the avenue with no people in it however I felt that the young family walking along add some extra interest to the image, after all the walkway was designed as just that, a walkway, so devoid of people it would actually be rather dull. I chose to shoot this image in monochrome because it emphasises the coldness of the day

Criss Cross

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.
