Beautiful reflections in murky water

I went a walk today, it was sunny. There is one short stretch of road which leads to and from an industrial estate. It is strewn with litter. I have a thing about picking up the glass bottles and placing them on a manhole cover. Each time I go I pick a few more up and add them to the collection. I thought the Council might pick them up when passing as they are close to the road. I think my creation is rather artistic. Maybe they will see them now that I have put a tyre around them. 

The sun is starting to go down. About 20 minutes to go before I am home. 

The last bit before I get onto the road takes me through a small wood. There is a filthy swamp in the middle of it. I decided to take a few snaps, not expecting anything worth looking at. It's always fun to get the photo's on the computer for a proper look. Most are discarded for various reasons, but I am chuffed with these four. 

For these two I pointed the camera straight down into the muddy water, and got the reflections of the trees on the opposite side. 

Nature is beautiful everywhere, even in the ugliest of places. 

Thanks for popping in. We'll catch up soon. Toodle pip.   ilona
