26.7.08 - Rhapsody in Blue
I make no special claims for this photo, it was just how it was this morning when I made my usual Saturday morning dash into town and back. We have had a series of increasingly hot days, and nights, and today was no exception. It was much cooler by the water, so I spent some time walking around Brayford Pool before tackling the climb back up the hill and 2 mile walk back home. These swans were on a mission, someone was feeding them on the south (left) bank. In the middle distance you can just make out a line of ducks heading in the same direction.
I think I've mentioned before, that this part of town was a real eyesore when I was a kid. The pool was surrounded by derelict warehouses, and the water itself was soured by half submerged barges and abandoned boats. The development of the brand new University on the south bank, itself on derelict railway land, spurred on the rejuvenation of the whole area.
The subject of yesterday's Daily is a couple of hundred yards off to the left of this view. The Cathedral and Castle are up on the hill half a mile to the right.
