Just before the Dowley Gap Locks, the towpath crosses over the Leeds- Liverpool canal, necessitating this pretty little bridge (to enable the boat-towing horse to swap sides... see my post of 23 April). To the left (off-camera) there is a small mill, now converted to a residence. The narrowboat moored alongside perhaps belongs to the home-owner. It all makes an attractive scene in the spring sunshine, with perfect reflections in the still water.
I'm linking this to Weekend Reflections - click here to explore more lovely images from across the world, on the theme of reflections. I usually ignore the Daily Photo theme days too (not being officially a Daily Photo) but this would fit June's theme of tranquillity very well.
Boats and bridges - what could be better?

ReplyDeletebeautiful, just what I need to cheer me up before I head off to work.

The bridge makes a wonderful circle with its reflection! This is a beautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty place and such a good photo. I really want to do a canal cruise with a longboat some time.
ReplyDeleteI'm catching up on your posts while babysitting this week. Your tree shots are beautiful...but trees have always fascinated me too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflections and perfect tranquility image Jenny, although any of your last three shots would have been perfect for the theme.
