New Lanark Mills and the Falls of Clyde.

Back at one of my favourite places for a couple of nights R & R,  making up for last weeks B & B compliments of the NHS at the ERI on our wedding anniversary !!     Weather is nice and managed a walk along the River Clyde while the sun was giving me some good shots.

 No doubt that Robert Owens was a man of foresight when he developed this remarkable factory complex,  it deserves it's World Heritage status.
 The river is still very low following our long dry spell over past three months.
 Managed this shot of the weir on my way out, but when I came back light had changed and it was not as impressive.

 The Mill Lade where it comes through the hillside from the weir into the complex, rather dark and foreboding.
 Not the clearest of images but saw this Heron sitting in the tree in the distance,  and about twenty minutes later noted that there were a pair of them, obviously having more luck at the fishing than the local anglers.
