Had to nip to Gloucester this lunchtime, and thought if I was lucky I might be able to capture the lift bridge over the Sharpness Canal in action.

And yes, I was in luck - there was water-born traffic needing to get under, so here she is, the Llanthony Road bridge lifting! Unluckily (or stupidly, I'll leave that up to you...) I didn't think this out, and completely forgot to get the barge as she swished majestically underneath. Even more unluckily (or stupidly, etc...) I continued to forget that I should have thus framed the shot until I got home

I would also like to apologise for the messiness of the picture - there's a lot going on here, not much of it of photographical merit, and there's no real focal point...but it's all I have today, so it will have to do I'm afraid!

Tuesday 25th's well-conceived but somewhat badly executed entry to the August Challenge; for other travelling Pbasers this month (most of whom will have done much better) click here
