Taken from the road leading to Rakewood unless I'm mistaken Alan, down near the salmon fields. I used to drive along there every day on my way to work, we used to have an access point up under the viaduct, when I was working building the M62 Motorway. Excellent shot, I was on holiday with my mother in Rhyll, North Wales many years ago, and we went on a mystery tour, yes you guessed it we finished up at Holingworth Lake.lol. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

A serene image, Alan. It gives me a nice warm frisson, and a slight deja vu. With Easter coming up, it reminded me of a dawn service on Easter morning at a wee loch, within the grounds of a Passionist retreat house in Coodham, near Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, Scotland, around 1970. They had fewer ducks there, but a few swans. Have a joyful Easter when it arrives, my friend. May you experience the wonder of Creation, and be glad. Regards,John.

The word glimmer works for me here...a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of the day, a glimmer of light...but the overall capture is so much more than a glimmer. This is really honest and outstanding work.
