Walking in black & white

The theme for my photography group this month is black and white photos taken on a walk.  This fitted well with my Master Practitioner course where I had to use photos of a walk.  I'll show you my sketchbook next time.

I walked from Kingswood Junction to Lowsonford where I met Roger.  We had a pub lunch and then he walked back to Kingswood Junction and I picked him up.

The South Stratford canal is renowned for its barrel-roofed lock keeper's cottages.

It also has split bridges so that the rope from the horse could go through the middle and not interrupt the journey of the horse-drawn barges.

 

I really enjoyed the walk.  I took a great many photographs and it is interesting to compare these black & white ones to the numerous colour ones I have of the same walk.  We walk it quite often!

Thanks for joining me today.

Florida

My last holiday post is about a couple of days out in Florida.  Firstly, a day with my hosts visiting the Ponce De Leon Lighthouse.

We drove to New Smyrna Beach to meet a friend for coffee.

Then across the causeway to Ponce De Leon Inlet and the lighthouse station.

We climbed the 205 stairs up to the top

The views were worth it.

We had a late lunch by the river and this paddleboat went past.

On my last day in Florida I took myself to Melbourne Beach.  This bit is on the river.

These guys were waiting for the fishermen to catch some fish and feed them

 I drove to the other side of Merritt Island to the Atlantic Ocean.

 
On the way back, I stopped off to take a view of the Indian River I have taken before.

Thank you for joining me on my travels.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing parts of America from your armchair.
