Yesterday I went walking around the waterside areas around Frodsham. This is a small town near the inland end of the Mersey estuary. The areas around Frodsham are a mix of countryside, rivers, canals, and industrial. The River Weaver flows into the Mersey at Frodsham and the Weaver Navigation (i.e. canal) flows alongside it.
I don’t usually go looking for subjects like this but I do like them. I’ve driven past this area for years as the M56 goes right over it on a flyover. I’ve seen it many times in dramatic light or weather, usually early or late on my way to or from the welsh mountains. Each time I see some dramatic light or mist I think I should go and take a look. Yesterday wasn’t dramatic and I couldn’t wait around for the sunset but it was a beautiful day and I really like the mix of industrial, waterside, and rough green land. I’ll definitely go back and look for more dramatic conditions.

A great collection – what’s not dramatic about a beautiful day? I know what you mean of course but we can’t afford to miss an opportunity on a good day either 😉

Thanks. I’d started this post actually trying to write about the Picturesque, the Sublime and the Beautiful, ideas from the Romantic era of the late 18th century. I think the weather at Frodsham would have counted as Beautiful but not Sublime. There is a Picturesque element to these pictures, as long as you update the concept of picturesque from the 18th to the 21st century.
