wildness and wet...

'...O let them be left, wildness and wet;

Long live the weeds and the wildness yet.'

 

Gerald Manley Hopkins - 'Inversnaid' - 1881

This and the other 'wet and wildness' photo were taken at Pennington Flash, near Leigh, Lancashire - an ex opencast mining area which has been flooded and reclaimed as a nature reserve. An oasis of peace and tranquility right next to a busy Northern town.
