Skywatch #121

on

We have been so blessed with blue skies here in the UK for the last week or so I decided to share more than one photo for this weeks skywatch.  The apple blossom has been lovely... I also received my first photo commission! This landscape photo of All Saints Church and The London Apprentice on the River Thames was made into a metre wide canvas print. I was quite jealous of my customer who got to keep it!


A much needed walk along the Grand Union Canal this week produced some nice snaps. This is the headquarters of Glaxo the big drug company which sits by the waterside...


A little further on and the canal becomes beautiful...



Framed in blossom...


Sunday afternoon was time for a stroll and a visit to a farm shop with some good friends...


And finally a visit to an inspiring place of worship, lazing on the grass outside for a few minutes before the service starts...


Have a great weekend!

I have never really explored much of the Grand Union Canal, looks like I will have to get my walking shoes on and go exploring. Nice pictures...

Every single one of these photos is spectacular, Mike! The colors are so vivid and crisp and the reflections in the canal are gorgeous. Well done!
