Entwhistle Reservoir

photo 115
MY rules say "no fillers" but in a way this is a filler because although I took the shot today it's not really of anything, it's just a nice view without any.....umph? It doesn't grab me so I don't expect it will you either, but it's my best effort of the day so as always that's what you get :)
p.s. for any viewers in the South of England this is what a full reservoir looks like! :))

Our reservoirs are pretty full now too - that's the drought for you! ;)
I love the blues in this - especially the water. I like your composition too with the tower and the depth to the hills at the back.

It has blue, and blue is good. Sometimes you don't need oomph, as calm is also a good thing. I like it :)

@humphreyhippo @beeblebear @allisonrap Thank you - you all epitomise the supportive nature of 365, sometimes it's difficult to see the positive things about an image of your own, it's good to have your help :))

Exactly how I felt today, lack of umph, still tomorrows another day, and we've had plenty of water, but 2 days of brilliant sunshine and no doubt we'll be on hosepipe bans too! Gorgeous blues : )

@cottoncandy Thanks Mischell
@lorraineb Cheers Lorraine, seems like I need to find something blue to shoot next time I'm short of ideas and inspiration :)

Nothing wrong with a nice view, you can tell some efforts been put in to the composition and obviously it has blue :)

@iqscotland Thanks iq - your comments affect me more than you realise - twice today I discounted a shot because the view included pylons, seems you've become my 'landscape conscience' sat on my shoulder all day! That's meant to be complimentary by the way :)

The colors are great! That is quite an amazing blue sky. Looks like fabulous weather. 8)

It is a good shot. Well composed and focused, with the tower on a third line.

@myautofocuslife Yep, we're having a really good spell Livia - it won't last long!
@seanoneill Cheers Sean, I know there a good points to be found in the image, it just didn't shout at me but it's done and drew more positive comments than I expected, onwards and upwards! :)

I do like the blue water, looks like a nice spot for a summer picnic. Even though your photo isn't full of excitment, I did discover that when constructed in 1832 the Entwistle Dam was the highest in Britain; it rises 108 feet from the base. Isn't Wikipedia so full of information!!
