Reflections at Bell Mills

Friday 9th October 2015

Busy today, did not get out until 4pm, then it was to take my grandson to feed the ducks at Bell Mills in Driffield. The river or beck flows around an island at Bell Mills and the water is very still as it is the holding area for Bradshaws Mill. I was looking at taking a picture with trees, a fence and the garden centre reflected perfectly in the water, but it didn't work out. I walked across the road to where the Driffield beck falls over a weir to bypass the mill. Here the water was fast flowing. Overhead were trees still with green leaves and a blue sky, but standing on the bank was a dead tree with just two branches like a fork. With the sun on the water, the reflections from the two branches made a great pattern, which I used to lead the eye; the rest of the colours and ripples made the image.
