A great morning with the usual suspects, Wiffsmiff23, opobs, Little Miss Pink Wellies and Rob Funffinger. Up in the hills roughly guided through the lanes by Mike, we found these little gems!!!

For me, much of the satisfaction in photographing Washboard Falls lies in the successful climb up the side of Tiffany Falls to get to it. Hitherto I have used the Canon 7D, but a few days ago I lugged the Mamiya up there to give it the mF treatment.
Koi fish are swimming upstream in a way making the impossible possible.
The thirteenth edition of Amsterdam Light Festival (from 28 November 2024 until 19 January 2025) had the theme Rituals.
Mee Canyon is west of Rattlesnake Canyon in the McInnis Canyons National Recreation Area in western Colorado. The view is looking upstream in the Canyon. A trail descends into the Canyon, but the trail has rickety wooden ladder and a sign warning that you should not use the ladder. I prudently decided to view the Canyon from the rim
Summer image of evening breeze or sea wave, actually it is an abstractive creation of metallic building exterior.
Stainforth Force, Yorkshire Dales
From the sea the atlantic salmon every autumn swim to reach spawning grounds in the higher reaches of clean, fast-flowing rivers where they themselves were born. This is perfect for eggs and milt to intermingle to secure the next generation of this fish.
Countless obstacles block the salmon’s progress from sea to spawning beds; in particular waterfalls are the most spectacular and challenging.
Just outside Yorkshire Dales village of Stainforth, the River Ribble cascades over a series of natural limestone outcrops; a string of waterfalls where the determination of salmon to forge upstream is laid bare for all to see. October and November are the best months to witness this inspiring spectacle, particularly after good rain.
The River Wye (Afon Gwy in Welsh), in Hereford, Herefordshire.
It is the fifth-longest river in the UK, stretching some 134 miles from source to sea. For much of its length the river forms part of the border between England and Wales.
Romans constructed a bridge of wood and stone just upstream of present-day Chepstow. It has been navigable up to Monmouth since at least the early 14th century. In the 1660's it was improved to enable vessels to pass weirs. According to Herefordshire Council Archaeology, these were flash locks.
The work proved to be insufficiently substantial and in 1696 a further Act of Parliament authorised the County of Hereford to buy up and demolish the mills on the Wye and Lugg. All locks and weirs were removed, except that at New Weir forge below Goodrich, which survived until about 1815. This was paid for by a tax on the county. Weirs were removed all along the Wye in Herefordshire, making the river passable to the western boundary, and beyond it at least to Hay on Wye.
A horse towing path was added in 1808, but only up to Hereford; previously, as on the River Severn, barges were man-hauled. Money was spent several times improving the River Lugg from Leominster to its confluence with the Wye at Mordiford, but its navigation is likely to have been difficult. The Wye remained commercially navigable until the 1850s, when commercial traffic moved to railways. It is still used by pleasure craft.
It is a Special Area of Conservation and one of the most important rivers in the UK for nature conservation. It is an important migration route and wildlife corridor, as well as a key breeding area for many nationally and internationally important species. The river supports a range of species and habitats covered by European Directives and those listed under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. In Powys the river lies within the Radnorshire Environmentally Sensitive Area. Much of the lower valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

66760 approaches the stop board at Ironbridge Power Station above the River Severn on the Albert Edward Bridge.
This was my first (and probably last) visit to photograph a biomass working into the power station from the southern bank of the river. I wasn't sure what this pov would be like until I'd arrived here. I thought I might get a better shot of the river into the distance and wasn't disappointed. Beyond the railway bridge can be seen the road bridge into the plant. To the right is the Ironbridge Rowing Club premises, from where most shots are taken of this location.

This North Devon steam gets trout and even some salmon.
Quick shot today with no time to plan or prepare.... or bring a tripod!
This view of the bridge is from upstream along Mill Creek.

Salmon trying to make its way upstream. Many make thier journey but many others don't due to exhaustion or being preyed upon.
