The Kennet & Avon Canal, seen here at Newbury in Berkshire, was built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. From Bristol to Bath the waterway and its 105 locks followed the River Avon before the canal connected it to the River Kennet at Newbury, and then on to the River Thames at Reading. Although the canal gradually fell into disuse after the opening of the Great Western Railway in the mid-19th century, its 87 miles were later fully restored and the waterway is now popular for various leisure activities.

Un fantásrico día de Noviembre, en la Sierra de Francia, con este tiempo y buena compañia, fuimos en busca de setas. No encontramos boletus, pero sí un montón. Y una delicia haciendo fotos.
Une journée fantastique de Novembre dans la Sierra de France. Cette fois, en bonne compagnie, nous avons été à la recherche de champignons. Pas trouvé "cèpes", mais oui, beaucoup d'autres variétés. Et un plaisir de prendre des photos

Our visit to the south-western part of the Cotswolds started on a sunny and warm day in Malmesbury, an ancient town on the River Avon. We picnicked at this spot, beside a small waterfall and with the partly ruined abbey in the background. It was a great start of a wonderful trip!
The Avon river runs through the heart of Christchurch city and is a vital part of the landscape. It is lovely to take a walk by the river in the city for a peaceful stroll or even to go punting on the Avon.
... the one in Devon.

Devons River Avon is the shortest of the many River Avons in the UK, just seven miles passes from where it rises on Dartmoor before emptying into the English Channel at Bigbury-on-Sea.

Sunday Retreat: Finding Peace at Sunset ☀️ 🌼 🌅
This Sunday was a peaceful retreat, a day spent alone with my thoughts at my little seaside cabin. Since the first light of day, I tended to my potted flowers, breathing in the rich scent of the soil. I embraced every leaf and sprout with love; these beauties overflowing into my boots nourished my soul.
In the afternoon, I sat on the wooden fence, waiting for the sunset in the shadow of my old bicycle. As the sun danced over the water in tones of golden yellow and crimson, I lost all track of time. This quiet moment was a wonderful opportunity to find inner serenity. Just like the little daisies in my boots, I too bloomed and rested in this magical scene of nature.
I immortalized that very moment with this capture.
Kisses! Guzo 💖

My flying soul 🎶
As the floating balloons inside me drift, I'm captivated by the magic of this moment. They are floating right in front of my eyes, as if each one carries the color of a dream of mine. The cigarette clutched between my lips slowly sends out the smoke of my dreams; with every breath, I become a little more free. The cello standing behind me is like a silent reflection of the music within me, its notes echoing in my soul. Everything comes together in this one moment; my soaring spirit, lost time, and the melody of eternity... This moment is my freedom. Defying the crowds of Istanbul, I have created a world within myself, and here, there is only me, my dreams, and my music.

This ex-Royal Australian Air Force Avon Sabre is one of only two still flying and whilst it is based on the American F-86 Sabre, it was built in Australia with numerous changes and upgrades resulting in not much more than the wings of the F-86 in common..
A Rolls-Royce Avon engine was fitted which meant that 60% of the fuselage required modification and the size of the air intake was increased by 25%.
This resulted in the Australian Avon Sabre being faster than the US F-86 ( 700mph vs 687mph ), with a greater rate of climb ( 12,000 feet per minute vs 9,000 feet per minute ) and a higher ceiling level ( 55,000 feet vs 49,600 feet )
Other modifications were made including changes to the cockpit and an increase in fuel capacity. Also, the Australian sabre could be started without an external power source.
The 6 x .50 machine guns of the F-86 were replaced with 2 x 30mm Aden Cannon. In the jet age it was rare for more than a couple of bullets to hit the enemy aircraft therefore it was decided that a couple of 30mm cannon strikes would generally do more damage that a couple of .50 machine gun bullets.
The Avon Sabre is arguably the best of the numerous Sabre variants built throughout the world.
Former RAAF Avon Sabres were donated to and used by both the Malaysian and Indonesian Air Forces. . . . . .Canon EF-S 18 -55mm f3.5 -5.6 IS

After we'd had our scones we decided to go for a boat trip, but as the boats were setting off every 15 minutes we decided to let this one go so that we could be the first ones on the next boat, therefore having more choice of seats!!
There were so many great places to catch trains along the MRL. I was always enjoyed catching MRL's own trains especially in the Mullan Pass area. June 2003
I was not sure about going out this morning, lacking a bit of inspiration with the local spots and the weather was for clear skies. As I was awake at 4am, damn body clock, i decided to go and watch the sunrise at one of my favourite locations. I was sat drinking coffee and this kicked off infront of me.

Well, it's been a while since my last visit. Lots of stuff going on at the moment that doesn't leave much time for photography but I've managed to find a few minutes of peace and quiet to process this one.
Hopefully, I'll be back online again in a few weeks.
