Autumn ramblings on a stormy weekend

At the end of October we had a Sunday outing to Porth Reservoir. Images were needed for a college project on water and the coast had been covered, inland water was necessary.

We arrived mid afternoon on a beautiful sunny day and wandered around the lake passing the fishing stances placed regularly around the edge. Porth is big on fishing but also has 2 bird hides so its quite big on birds too. It was blissfully peaceful and slow and as the sun sank the colours and light were quite stunning.




The low sun reflected off the ruffled surface of the water...





heightened the colours, making them zing out...




and showed up the wildlife.




The browns, rusts and golds all around us glowed in the late afternoon warmth...
























The path was bordered by bracken on one side and reeds on the other and various seed heads swayed in the light breeze.




Even the leaves underfoot were highlighted by the glancing rays.






As the sun disappeared the clouds turned rosy...




and the sky began to streak...




 everything was silhouetted against the beautiful sky and reflections.





Happy autumn walkers.
