weekly Nog's 52 Week 17 Structure

[nog]

Unkempt: Looks familiar, those tracks will take a while to disappear. As said, nicely composed leading lines.
Gob shot: Love this one... great capture and colour.

Thanks Helen

Koi are great aren't they.

I have a client who breads them for the aquarium shops. Lovely fish and great colours.

Well executed

Thanks Adam

[Boots]

That looks a lovely walk

 

[-Oy-]

Ooooh I could do that

 

[BobBCN]

Works for me. Ah the English (well Welsh) countryside, certainly takes me back a few years.....

 

[RyanB]

Lovely scene with a strong leading line, probably look great in mono too with all that texture.

 

[HelenC]

Lovely leading line. Good to see some sunshine too!

 

[nickbee]

Honestly, came in here to say something intelligent-sounding (for once) and everyone's already spoken about leading lines. Still, nice leading line.

 

[SimonH]

Lovely shot Keith. Nice day for it (for a change!)

Thanks Bob, those Spanish hills look very nice though

Thanks Ryan, got to admit as soon as I saw it I thought that’ll do for leading lines

Nel likes to ensure the yogurt pot is empty before recycling

Both great for the theme, love the leading lines in the second but that tongue showing through the bottom if the pot make the first for me.

Week 17 Structure
Pontcysyllte aquaduct, built by Telford
From wiki:
The 18-arched stone and cast iron structure is for use by narrowboats and was completed in 1805 having taken ten years to design and build. It is 12 feet (3.7 metres) wide and is the longest aqueduct in GB as well as the highest canal aqueduct in the world

Nice set doing justice to a fine piece of architecture. I like the POV of #2, but your chosen image was the right one to submit IMO.

 

[Boots]

Lovely set, and your chosen shot works very well for the theme.

I went over it in a narrow boat once, and it really scared me, there is no kind of rail on the non-towpath side, just the trough for the water, with a top slightly below your feet. So you are standing there with 120 foot drop in front of you - urgh!

 

[HelenC]

Makes me feel dizzy just looking at it. I rather like the pov of #2

 

[SimonH]

A great subject to shoot. I'm torn between the second shot for it's unusual PoV and your chosen one - either way they're both excellent.

 

[Kell]

Great sense of scale and drama.

I was going to ask if this is the same one - I've seen video of people going across it and it makes me feel weird.

I can sort of understand they might not have built a rail at the time, but surprised no one's insisted on it these days.
