landing stages

'Look' said Ray, pointing behind me. So I did and although I got 4 shots, only 2 are even half good enough to post but at least I didn't fall into the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal.
One day, when this situation arises, I'll be facing forwards, at the ready, camera on zoom etc etc etc........ (pigs might fly!)

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Fantastic! I would be thrilled to take these shots!

[Sian B]

Wow - superb! brilliant Hazel!

[Graham Thresher]

Well done. So difficult to capture.

[Kim]

Great capture of the swan! I like the colors and lines of the buildings in the background too, and continuing on to the reflections.

[Pat Knowles]

I would be very pleased with these two Hazel specially the one on the left....just perfect landings!

[Fiona]

They're still pretty darned good Hazel - and the reflections and background are super. They always say the best shot is behind you!

[Margaret Brown]

Great action shots Hazel, they're still very good, you did very well!

[Hazel]

I am immensely cheered up by all of your encouraging comments - so thank you very much!

@exidia

I'll have to keep Ray as look-out then!!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I love this -- the contrast between the beautiful swan and the buildings says a lot about what we've done to the natural world. Fav for detail and sharp focus -- I'm never fast enough to capture moments like this.

[Richard Hickey]

Nice action shots.

[Pyrrhula]

Great collage of two beautiful captures. Perfect timing.

Mary, I don't think you would like the historic docks now aka Gloucester Quays. All big warehouses converted into flats, a big indoor covered shopping market....

[Claire]

Never manged this yet! One day..........................when the pigs aren't flying:0)
