My lovely daughter came up from London to stay for a few days last week, attending the wedding of one of her best friends. They met almost 20 years ago, at middle school, and have been firm friends ever since, keeping close even though they went their separate ways to senior school and then uni and V now lives in California. In traditional fashion, the girls arranged a 'hen do' a couple of days before the wedding. Thankfully, they didn't all dress like tarts and get drunk! Instead they had a 'Yorkshire' themed afternoon and evening - complete with flat caps. (The bride's had a veil attached!) Part of it involved a trip on a narrowboat along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal through Saltaire, enjoying cakes and champagne as they cruised along.
Being the sweet girl that she is, J took some photos for me.. a boat level view of Saltaire, just as dusk was falling. I am therefore delighted to present my first guest photographer on SDP - my very talented daughter. This shot is taken in that narrow stretch of the canal between Salts Mill on the right and the New Mill.
Lovely shot (which naturally reminds of a big university further South!). I'm glad that hen nights aren't all about binge drinking.
ReplyDeleteThat's just about the spot where I watched two kingfishers fighting over territory a couple of years ago. It's a lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteLike mother, like daughter. A good eye for photography must run in the family.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely story about friendship and a great photo.
ReplyDeleteA great photo.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully atmospheric. I have sailed along that stretch of canal a good few times.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lovely hen night and great photograph. Many thanks for your kind words yesterday - very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteBeautyful picture! and made in special circumstances, which adds a value! Best wishes to the -soon-married-one! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It sounds like they all had quite a good time.
ReplyDeleteFantastic image! Clever composition, Jenny.
ReplyDeleteOh! excellent DOF.
ReplyDeleteA lovely shot and what a nice idea for a party!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting angle on the canal and the mill.
ReplyDeleteYou taught her well. My daughter is a better photographer than I, but in starting out on her career, she has too little time to work at it. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteCharm and talent clearly run in the family, Jenny. A delightful post with a lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteAww your daughter is amazing! What great shot! Like mother like daughter. Lovely story about friendship, too!

It's even all the more lovely knowing they were enjoying cakes and champagne whilst traveling on this boat! Beautiful! ~Lili
