Above and below

This is Engine Bridge on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Wheelton. Don't worry about our equine friends on the bridge. They aren't actually loose on a road. There isn't a road there at all. The bridge just links some stables to some pasture land. The canal here sometimes attracts anglers trying to snag Bream, Chub, Roach, Rudd or Tench. If you look closely you can see a couple of intrepid ducks cutting up the reflections with their wake.
