I went out for a bike ride quite late yesterday (Sunday) evening.
I wasn't the only cyclist enjoying the late sunshine.
This bridge crosses the old river whose flow is controlled by the sluice gate in the near distance.
I have already shared the poppies but I stopped to get some more images
All the images shared on this post were taken with my little point and shoot.

I stopped when I reached the horse bridge... to the left is the Weaver Navigation..
The original river rejoins the navigation after its short meander at this point.
The views above were taken while standing on the horse bridge... looking right.
The sun was setting behind me as I returned to my starting point at Acton Bridge.
Ahead the skies still looked bright.
The still waters of the river offered some lovely reflections.
The swing bridge at Acton Bridge... and the Leigh Arms pub (white building over the road on the left)
I had time for a pint before heading home.
