Reflections of the bridges at Atcham in Shropshire. The bridge in the foreground was built in the early 1770's at the original shallow crossing point on the river Severn. A second bridge was opened in 1929 when the demands of modern traffic became too much for the older structure. We were lucky to be here on a bright sunny day when the reflections were particularly effective.

The huge catamaran in the shot is one of several on the Malta-Sicily run.

When my oldest son Joseph was about 4 he came in from the garden once with magic in his eyes raving about the beauty that he'd seen in the morning dew collected in cobwebs looking up the grassy slope.
