Bit of a cheat this one as I took it yesterday, but of the shots I took today, nothing came close to this.
This is the old canal in Castelefields River Park in Calne Wilts.
@snaggy I used to while away many hours in Wilts checking out the chalk horses as part of a computer quiz / adventure called "Pi-mania". I can recall having a few pints of Wadworths 6X in Devizes and then climbing up to the Landsdowne monument right by the horse at the hottest part of a July day to see if the sign on the gate nearby was a clue. It read "Keep out. Danger of falling masonry" or something as innocuous! Needless to say I didn't win the prize for the quiz.
@steampowered LOL. Well, theres scaffolding around it now and has been for some time so I presume there trying to repair it - certainly isn't as photogenic as it was. I've added a shot of the top of monument in my second album taken in summer last year so you can see how bad it's looking.
@snaggy Thanks Kev. Yes, I saw the pic this morning and it was definitely looking as bad as it did all those years back. It would be a shame to see it disappear through neglect.
