Taken on a walk on the Isle of Wight, The north west of the island is pretty isolated and quiet, a lot of channels and streams and some beautiful ancient trees. I liked this image with a feeling of calm but also I think a bit of sadness.

Sandwell Travel Leyland Cub C805 KBT in West Bromwich Bus Station on 04.06.94 on service 652 to Hamstead. I think this is Optare bodywork, and blended in quite nicely with Stevensons buses at the time. This was probably the best 'looking' bus that Sandwell Travel ever ran, most of their buses all being some sort of tat.

The Tame Valley Canal in Perry Barr, Birmingham, West Midlands.
The canal was authorised by Act of Parliament in 1839 and opened in 1844. Its engineer was James Walker.
The canal runs from Tame Valley Junction where it joins the Walsall Canal near Ocker Hill and Toll End, and terminates at Salford Junction where it meets the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal and the Grand Union Canal. It is 8.5 miles (13.7 km) long and has twin towpaths throughout.
Between Tame Valley Junction and Rushall Junction it goes under the Midland Metro near Wednesbury and crosses over the former Grand Junction Railway (now part of the Chase Line) by aqueduct, near Tame Bridge Parkway railway station (an unusual case of the railway pre-dating a neighbouring canal).
It passes over the M5 motorway near the interchange with the M6 motorway (M6 junction 8) and joins the Rushall Canal at Rushall Junction, inside the triangle formed by the motorway junction. East of Rushall Junction the canal passes under another arm of the M5. At Hamstead the remains of a wharf can be seen, this served the former Hamstead Colliery. Further east, there are two more aqueducts (Spouthouse Lane and Piercy, the latter over the Old Walsall Road), and a deep cutting in 200-million year old sandstone, under Freeth Bridge (now restricted to pedestrians and bikes only) at Tower Hill. There are no locks on this section, which is at the Walsall Level, but it passes over eight aqueducts within five miles (seven of which are original).
The thirteen Perry Barr Locks, where the level drops 106 feet, start just beyond the A34. The original lock keepers cottages remain. In the adjacent Perry Park, near Alexander Stadium, is Perry Reservoir, a feeder reservoir fed by a stream from the lake at Great Barr Hall. From there, the canal passes under the M6 three times, including Gravelly Hill Interchange (Spaghetti Junction), shortly after which it terminates, at Salford Junction.
