Forth and Clyde Canal

During the recent good weather we took a walk along the cleaned up Forth and Clyde Canal. It was the wrong time of day for decent pics i.e. almost "high noon" and being the fool that I am the ISO was set at 1600 - hence some of the pics are a bit grainy.

One of the few pics where the sky isn't completely blown out.

As you can see the sky is almost completely nuked. A graduated ND filter would have helped here.

Another indication of the improved water quality was the sighting of this Grey Heron (<em>Ardea cinerea</em>)
