Watering/fuelling up at Great Heywood.

What a wonderful bridge! On this forum, we expect you to provide a photographic account of your trip—especially if the photos are as beautiful as this one.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Very kind of you, Gianluca, thank you. Hopefully the odd snap will pop up, here, from time to time.

 

[Peter Roberts]

Perfectly idyllic, Ralph.
Like Gianluca I'm looking forward to more.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Many thanks, Peter.

I maybe should have mentioned, the pic above was taken on my Canon 6D with the wee 40mm pancake, then the jpeg uploaded to my ipad for a quick b+w edit using the ipad's basic but fairly effective tools.

Very nostalgic shot Ralph. Is that on the Grand Union?

 

[Ralph Turner]

Thanks, Tony. It's the Trent & Mersey at the junction with the Staffordshire & Worcestshire.

Apparently I can edit and convert raw files on my iPad. Hadn't realised this until very recently. Here's a beautiful old oak next to bridge 108 on the Staffs & Worcester Canal.
