Discovering the River Wyre

My desire to discover and photograph more of this river is bordering on obsession. The first blog (of 5 Feb 2013) focused on its creeks and shipping history. Gradually I'm taking you along the river to discover more of its charm.

The experience of facing more mud and marshland is inevitable, as the Wyre meanders gracefully through rural areas. Last year I discovered a toll bridge and went back to photograph it in February. Surprisingly, in the middle of winter, surrounding landscape colours were virtually autumnal.

 

Having learned of other bridges along the river, I found two very different ones within about a mile of the toll bridge: one was a metallic structure, carrying a large service pipe, and the other a footbridge. This is a picture of the two bridges and their terrain.

 

All of these images are in the River Wyre section at DMC Photogallery. The images of the toll bridge are followed by some creative images, of both the two aforementioned bridges and the rural landscape en-route.

 

The next excursion along the river Wyre (probably in Spring) will take you towards Garstang and the Trough of Bowland
