Quite frightening to see it reduced to a puddle! Let' hope the autumn and witer rains will replenish it.

Herb Riddle replied to Gudrun:

Stil quite a big puddle Gudrun but frighteningly so, as you say. I think and hope it will look quite different for Spring.

Herb Riddle replied to David G Johnson:

Hi again Dave, I can imagine what Redmires must look like then for we have walkes around all three of those reservoirs some time ago now, when all were full. I have seen Ladybower pretty low a few times and we did wonder if the church and partial village would have been seen this year. Maybe you saw that -let me know. Yes as you say, I noticed too how quickly grass and moss had claimed the reservoir bed here.

Cheers, Herb

Nice natural framing Herb. I love the PiP showing the normal conditions.
Best regards, Rosa.

Herb Riddle replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

Thanks so much Rosa, I had almost forgotten that I had included that PiP. Yes, a long way from normal at the moment and so no Autumn reflection shots I fear!

Best Wishes, Herb

A very pleasant scene, but so much better (as in the PiP) with more water. Let's hope your drought breaks soon.

Thanks George, glad you enjoyed both pictures. We had had some rain just before taking this but dry again for the last week and into next week too. Most unusual!

I like the PiP! It would be worth to show in the main gallery.
