Seeing the Light

Seeing the Light
As we approach this part of our Mossley canal (really called the Huddersfield Narrow) we encounter a fallen tree bridging the canal, brought down by the recent storm Claudia. A tree surgeon looks on as his colleague cuts pieces from the right hand side. A canal barge lies just beyond the tree presumably enabling the felling work.

To me though, this was not about a fallen tree but the magnificent lighting.

See next photo for more distant view and slightly different lighting. You choose your favourite!

Enjoy full screen.

Like you Gordon, out of the two, I think this is slightly moreappealing for its artistic light quality. Only taken minutes apart but this p.o.v has something. On hindsight I should have climbed over the trunk, as others did, to get a shot from the other side which might have been even better but never got that far.
Great that you enjoyed it enough for a star. Thanks for comparing them.

Have a great day. (even in the pouring rain). Herb

This is definitely the best shot for me Herb.........the light in the trees and over the water is gorgeous and I love the reflections of the fallen branches. The man in hi-vis stands out perfectly.

Beautifully composed and taken sir..!!
