@bluechameleon: Thanks Sharon!
@lydia: Thanks Lydia!
@Mirko Herzner: Thanks Mirko!....the photo divided itself naturally into those thirds really.
@Fabienne: Thanks Fabienne!
@yz: Thanks yz!....by the way, those 3 'sticks' in the foreground are actually the size of tree trunks! I think they are old mooring posts for the ocean going ships that use the canal. Interestingly there were several hundred geese swimming on the water while I was taking this photo but because of the long exposure they didn't show up on the final image.
@Anna.C: Thanks Anna!
@John Leech: Thanks John!...It was a very grey, overcast day with drizzly rain which is probably why the reflections don't amount to much!
@Mags: Thanks Mags....it's a dramatic place and this power station and a nearby bridge http://ianbramham.aminus3.com/portfolio/136.html just out of shot to the left of the photo really dominate the landscape.
@Sriram: Thanks Sriram!
