Canal pictures
An experiment in black and white. Pictures taken by the (mostly) frozen Birmingham canal as it drops from the Black Country plateau towards Aldersley Junction. Above is the rubbish incineration plant.
Next is Broad Street basin from Broad Street. Below is the railway viaduct across the canal and Stafford Road.

Water birds in winter
The swan above is one of a pair which spent the cold spell near the Windmill Lane bridge on the Staffs and Worcs canal, and had what was obviously a frequently met expectation of being fed.
The birds in the other pictures were on the boating lake at West Park, which stayed partially frozen even in the temporary thaw around the new year.
