Alington Lock Malta Inn

Hi all, well that is where Mike and I ended up just before dusk this afternoon. I was windy and the light was fading. We walked the bank of the Medway up and across the lock.

Across the other side Mike found these

Neck and neck
Talk about tame the came right up to us, Mike has some real close-ups

Least that's what I think it looks light.

Then as the sun goes down!

That is it, have fun and thanks for looking.

  2. Mike and I were running out of time so the Malta seemed the best place for parking. This turned out to be true as we almost had the place to our selves

  3. Yes it is getting the right sky and the reflection of the light off of the cloud that makes the picture.
