The old rail bridge over the Lune at Caton. It now carries a cycle path rather than the railway.

A swan at the Crook o'Lune, mugging for the camera.

After I'd taken this shot she bullied some ducks. Diva.

Female Mallard at Crook o'Lune. I particularly like the beads of water on her underbelly and the blue of her wing feathers.

I had a couple of ideas for today's photo, one of which I didn't have time to try but which I might try tomorrow. This was the other one.

Taken on the cycle path, Crook O'Lune, near Lancaster, at about quarter to eleven at night. I'm not hugely fond of this; there really wasn't enough light to work with, but it does have a certain dark and lonely quality to it, which is what I was after. I like the fact that there's still colour at this time of night.

Really, I wish I'd had more time to compose this. It would probably have worked better if I'd been closer to the ground (though I'd need a much smaller tripod for that, or very, very steady hands). I also wish that I'd done it earlier in the day.
