No1 works best as the bent necks don't show well in No2.

Thanks Dave, its a lovely area, yes only had a phone and walking along canal to a pub so couldn't hang around :)

I agree that the canal works best, although a good idea for the swans if they had shows a little more attention to the camera

Thanks Meg, think they were more concerned about their nest.

Yes the canal bend works best for me, sort of needs something walking or cycling over the bridge?

Thanks Alan, yes someone on the bridge would add to the picture. Some of the bridges are not is use, just fields either side, don't know if they were built for the farmers use or the roads have been dug up.

Keith, they are typically Accommodation bridges, built to allow farmers and other landowners to access their land on the far side of the canal when the canals were first constructed. This was a measure to gain the landowner's permission to allow the canal company to take some of their land.

There are many different styles of such accommodation bridges: swing bridges, lift bridges and full blown brick bridges. I suspect the choice may depend on how "lawyered" up the landowner was. Many of the bridges have fallen out of use completely.

Week 20 Arches

The Pin mill at Bodnant garden (NT site) was originally built as a lodge or garden house around 1730 at Woodchester, Gloucestershire. It was rebuilt at Bodnant in 1938/39

Bodnant Laburnum Arch, not in full flower yet. Lots of people removed with the help of PS and my daughter. :)

Nice shots Keith :)
 
Fir me, I prefer the building, with the colours and reflections, and more interest in the subject matter. Nice Laburnum though

Thanks Alan, I prefer the building but thought to pick the laburnum as its only in flower for a few weeks of the year

Thanks Paul, yes it is a nice garden to have a wander around. about 30 mins from us so go there a few times a year

Lovely Keith! Great laburnum arch. The time we went it wasn't quite in flower.

Thanks Simon, will be in flower for a few weeks now. Even NT members have to book a visit for the next few weeks due to the number of visitors going to see the laburnum.
 
Week 22 Critters
We have a few hedgehogs visiting the garden which seemed perfect for this week, but meant a long wait outside to catch it

Good that they are visiting. I keep finding droppings but never see them out and about so you're lucky. Nice one.
