Leanne has set the challenge of ‘flowing water’ for this iteration of Monochrome Madness.

This image might be more accurately classified as ‘barely flowing water’, although you have my word that the water was actually moving, if only sluggishly.

It was taken last summer at Pembroke Castle, in South Wales. It stands on the River Cleddau, which was diverted centuries ago in order to surround the castle on three sides for defensive purposes. There’s a roadway cum dam to ‘close the circle’ as it were, but comparatively very little water passes through, hence the build-up of silt and sediment, through which these few rivulets manage to wind their way.

It’s certainly a photographically interesting landscape in colour, but I think it looks even more dramatic when rendered in monochrome.
