No.9 Dock, in Salford,Greater Manchester, UK, was once the busiest and larger dock in this area.
Nowadays, the land surrounding is a modern residential and business center including The Lowry and Media City UK. I was fortunate to have a brilliant morning that the calm water highly reflected the buildings of this area. It is also interesting to note that the barrier of the garbage in the water has become a resting place for the water birds.
I was attracted by the different colour of the dried maple leaves floating in a small pool of muddy water. Obviously the pool of muddy water was from the overnight rain. The dropped leaves to me formed a very interesting colourful image. The lighting angle plays an important part for such a setting.
This image was captured at the Reagent’s Park,London, during my visit in November 2013.

I spotted the long-legged freshwater bird in the park on a lovely morning of the season of autumn. I noted only a couple of Heron lingering around the water area of the park. Nevertheless, I like this heron that is brilliantly lit under the spell of the morning sun.
