2nd - "Grantchester Meadows"

Wootton Wawen, Warks. view map

(from the 1969 album Ummagumma)

OK, OK, so it's not *really* Grantchester Meadows, it's not the River Cam, and it's not Cambridgeshire...it's looking north-east along the Stratford-on-Avon Canal at Wootton Wawen in the heart of Warwickshire. But I think it has a kind of relaxed down by the river sort of feel to it which is how I feel whenever I hear the song

Well, it works!!! If I do one for that song you know for sure it won't be in Grantchester Meadows. Beautiful image!

I didn't know there really was a Grantchester. This beautiful scene completely conveys the title to me.

Perfect for Grantchester Meadows and the canal with the boats and ducks is a nice addition. Very nice composition with your 28mm.

Ah, what a tranquil looking peaceful scene, no doubt just waiting for some young (or not-so-young) oik to come along imposing his Pink Floyd collection on all-and-sundry ;o)

There is always a special sort of tranquility about scenes along a canal, this shot oozes tranquility. I love the patterns made by the ducks!
