In the Spotlight! (Apologies for absence - I have been unwell)

North Drain from Jack's Drove on the Somerset Levels. The setting sun reflects in the water and standing here you feel as if the sunset is unfolding just for you, like a show with the spotlight on a stage setting.

I didn't want to leave until the show was over. In the words of the Aerosmith song

'I don't want to miss a thing'

I have also added Jennifer Hudson and 'Under the Spotlighr' as a link

This is probably best viewed large. Many thanks. HFF!

A waterway as nice as this deserves a more glamorous name in my opinion, This is a wonderful capture and as Marije says staying to the end is key, great colours and composition
Happy Friday.

Thank you very much Roger. North Drain isn't a nice name, I agree. I guess the imagination ran out with Jack's Drove!!'

Yep, I agree with Biobauer & Kräuterfee...what a romantic sunset. And I also agree with Roger...this waterway deserves a much nicer name :-) Well, you might simply rename it, even if it's not official ;-))
