Saltaire Canal

 

 

This image of the Leeds - Liverpool Canal was taken from the bridge above it at Saltaire.  This part of the Canal seems to freeze over quite easily, whereas on the other side it is flowing freely.  Being taken at 5.30pm, it looks like a black and white, but it was taken in colour.  I love the reflections of the trees here and there as it begins to thaw.

I have now completed my mission of taking a photo of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal at Saltaire on the same day of each month from approximately the same place on the canal for the year of 2012. The weather has been kind to me over the year, as it has never stopped me from venturing out on the 5th day of each month, and I cannot remember it even raining on those particular days. 

 

I think the coldest day of all was today. Such a lovely crisp morning, but the chilly wind sent me back inside very quickly.



Saltaire - contemplation

 

 

Just happened to catch this couple as they stood quietly beside the canal at Saltaire yesterday. I love the peaceful feeling this image portrays. I wonder what they were thinking about?

Autumn Reflections

November 2012

 

 The Leeds-Liverpool Canal at Saltaire always produces something for the photographers eye, no matter what time of the day, month or year.  I decided to take a different angle on these trees reflected in the water, just to give the viewer another perspective on the wonderful colours of autumn.

Oops, wrong way



It must be school holidays.... kids in canoes having fun on the canal. Not too sure about the one heading for wall though, think he needs a bit more practise.

I often wonder what happens when a canal boat arrives and is presented with a "gaggle" of canoests in front of it, all paddling madly in different directions across the canal !!

Fire on the canal

Spotted this paper boat on fire in the Canal on Wednesday 18 July whilst looking out my window.  It was set alight by Teachers with a group of school children and placed into the canal, it quickly burnt away as it moved slowly down the canal.  I just wonder what it signified ?

Sir Titus Salt stands proud as the sun sets behind him.

 

Early evening on the canal, and still some frozen areas from the little freeze we just experienced.

Reflection of the moon amongst the tree branches in the canal.

An icy start to the day making the roberts park and its surroundings very pretty indeed.

Out and about on this very cold and windy day; looks like it wasn't affecting the dogs too much !
