River Leen Culvert

The River Leen passing between two factories before it turns right and flows on the boundary of Vernon Park

I've don a similar shot to this a couple of years ago in colour, so I thought it only right to do a mono version too

A great b&w Phil
a river in such a place amazes me

[Maggiemae]

You would hardly know this was a river - its a very 'lean' river!

[Phil Howcroft]

@annied annie i think the river was diverted this way back n the day to allow it to be used in the old factories

@maggiemae ha ha maggie

[Annie D]

@maggiemae lol
@phil_howcroft ah that makes sense

Your culverts are way different from our culverts. Over here, a culvert like that would have a house with a veranda overlooking or, in the right part of town, a swanky expensive café with little romantic outdoor tables.

Beautiful picture.

[Dave59]

Interesting shot. And over here about now, that river would probably be a dry river bed.

I love everything going on here....the b&w, the texture, the pov, the lines the patterns...all = FAV for me Phil. Love that little canal too.

[Ali P]

Great in B&W

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture. Works well in b&w. Looks like the flow is quite fast.

[Judith Johnson]

The mono brings out the excellent detail

Great B&W shot Phil

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well done. Fav.

[Rhodie]

Great pic Phil - were you balancing on that little narrow shelf? Brave!

[Pat Knowles]

A while since we've seen this little culvert Phil. Was it very fast flowing during all the recent rain I wonder? Could have been up to the top of the patterned stone.

[Judith Greenwood]

Mono works well - love seeing buildings with a bit of history.

[Kerri]

Awesome b&w

[Hazel]

Lends it self to mono very well!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Great composition and lovely tones to bring out the water.
