New adventure, new blog!

Next week I will be entering a new phase of my life, quitting my job to spend time travelling and photographing the world! I'll be documenting this trip on my new blog www.amytravelsblog.wordpress.com.

This means I'm moving out of Derby, so I thought I would share a few photos taken from around Derbyshire.

Upper Dovedale valley.

The canal near willington.

Sunset over the Canal

The walk along the canal towards Willington in Derbyshire is usually very pleasant. There are nicely painted Canal boats, trees, Willington cooling towers in the distance and people walking very happy looking dogs. At sunset last Saturday it was beautiful! The canal, being a relatively still body of water, creates interesting reflections of the boats, trees and power-lines.

The canal boats lit with the evening sun.

Power-lines and trees reflecting in the canal.
