Manchester ship canal....?

Well done. I was on the fast A57 but it's quite wide and has a sort of hard shoulder in places and I stopped because I saw the swans, just where the ship canal runs close and is parallel to the road between Partington and Glazebrook.

I'd know those glistening, balmy waters anywhere.....

No bike in the pic. I may have just bought one near here...

@Vertego . A fantastic composition that on first look has you thinking "where's the bloody water...?"

Well done @Vertego , a worthy winner, and thanks for the challenge @Dave 123

 

[Vertego]

Thank you, Dave 123. A complete surprise to me. 21st May was my wife's birthday - and I got result this as a 'reward' .

Now, the next challenge - with absolute respect and solidarity following the atrocities of last night's horrific event in Manchester - is 'Togetherness'.

That can have whatever meaning or interpretation that you want.

Closing date - Sunday 4th June 2017

(bikes, anatomy, egrets/herons optional)

Congratulations @Vertego and thank you for the thoughtful new challenge.
