The lone fisherman waiting for a bite near to Arley Bridge.(According to my diary for that day, it was very hot & sunny).(Compare to this to 2018)

Walked along here this very morning. Absolutely nothing as changed. Canals are time capsules .

This was an evening photo,taken just after 8pm on a walk from Standish to Red Rock and back through Arley Woods & golf course, Rectory Lane and home. By golly,I was a fit teenager then able to walk miles in a day. Possibly able to do today but not in the same time!!

I 'see' what you mean Barrie - you blend in with the surroundings! I didn't realise it was on the same page!

A smashing photo Barrie. I imagine that the angler would have 'caught', by 8pm, as dusk seems to be another particular time when 'fish come out to play'. And you're quite a Boswell, sir.
