I hadn't been to this stretch of river for a few years, since the death of a close friend. It was a shared favourite place to spend sunny afternoons and weekend evenings around a bonfire with other friends.
One summer a pair of swans took up residence in the calm waters here before an old mill falls and for a few years when we were lucky the swans would be here when we came to visit. Sometimes we would see them together or if we were alone we could report to the other that we saw the swans.
There are only afterimages now.

Nice shot, but somehow poignant...

Thanks, Tara. Yes there is a sense of loss, and ages passing by.

Sometimes I wonder how much of the magic is in the shot, how much I add in "developing", and how much is just in my head ;) There's magic inherent in all of those processes, isn't there? :)

Maybe Jon - there something about this image, the view, that is very appealing!:D
