Foggy walk by the Leeds and Liverpool canal

I was out for my Sunday evening walk along the Leeds and Liverpool canal. It had been foggy all day and I wanted to try and capture the gloomy effects in a photo. I was about to photograph a night view of the canal with ducks on the ice and the Top Lock Pub lost in the distant gloom. A couple walked out of the dark and continued towards the bridge. I waited until they walked in to the camera view and took the picture. When I got home a text message came in from my daughter asking if I’d just been taking pictures along the canal. She was one of the couple and the other was her boyfriend. I sent the image to my local newspaper. They printed it but cropped off the left 30%, thereby destroying the composition and reason for taking the picture in the first place.[120212020edf]
