Kennet & Avon Canal (January 2023)

A non-photographic trip to Wiltshire managed to produce January’s picture of the month and proves the value of always having a camera handy, particularly with a decent zoom capability. It also a reminder that sometimes one photograph is enough to tell the story of any particular day. 

The shot in question, catches sunlight coming through the smoke from a barge, moored on a frozen canal, trying to keep warm. The overhanging branches frame the whole scene.
