Salmon leap

We stopped for lunch in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, on our way to and from Alnwick.
This is a weir across the River Wharfe and the water really does run that rather peculiar colour as it tumbles over the weir.
The sculpture "Spawning Salmon" is by Michael Liesener and was presented by the council to mark the millennium.
I took a couple of photos of this on the way up but was glad of the chance to visit this spot again on the way home for the day's picture. The colour of the river intrigued me. I guess the sculptor may have chosen his material to complement that colour.

Nice sculpture Alison, and Ilike the way you have presented it.

What great history with your picture. You've caught the beauty of the colors so nicely both in the water and in the sculpture.

[Sophia Ziburtovicz]

That is awesome, Alison

[Celia Leaberry Gould]

Lovely, well done.

[Jean Tookey]

A lovely composition. I love the colour of the sculpture against the colours and flow of the water.

Great shot. Lovely angle of capture and a nice set of tone. Well done.

[Susan Bell]

The water has either been through lots of peat, or iron. Nice angle.
