Just before sunset

[Ken Rennie]

It has been raining for a week and my trip to photograph a local river was a wash out with a footbridge wrecked and with enough water flowing to make it look like flowing milky coffee with little detail. Just before sunset my local trees lit up and this was taken 100ft from my house in the rain. The top of this hill has the remains of a Motte and Bailey fort although it was probably built on the site of an earlier Saxon Moot Place. A Moot is a meeting place. I know it sounds like Tolkien. The stone structure bottom left is a well where people used to wash their clothes and linen, the grass is still known as the drying green. Ken

Man, you sure have some history where you live. Love the photo too.

I'd be happy to have shot this - nice composition and a fun history lesson about the area.

Ken, that's quite some history.

Nice double rainbow.
