We might be in with a chance!

Maybe Severn crossing as a guess?

Lovely autumn pics, Callistemon

Is it the Severn bridge (being built)?

Something a bit brighter:

Hurray, after several frustrating attempts, I have the scanner working again!
A puzzle for you - which bridge is this? If you click on the picture you should be able to enlarge it.

Brilliant photo Ellianne..

Same stretch of canal today. Practically clear.

A bit choppy out there today.

Hellogirl Was your post to me? Well when we bought the house, we didn't know that canal was right behind the house. We are in Birmingham and I have to say that in these awful times I sometimes go out to stand on the little canal bridge to watch the wildlife, occasional boat (and the fishermen). I did wonder about the fishing. I have seen people fishing through the algae.

Kitty, my husband was an angler, he would have loved that canal, the one outside here regularly gets covered in that "green stuff" as I called it, he called it colour, and said it was the best time to fish when the water was like that.

Poor old swan all at sea in Trearddur Bay

Lovely photos. Lovely thread..?

Maybe a few too many pints of Black Sheep with his lunch, GQ?

He was at a local farm shop grannyqueenie.
Our dog ran into someone's green algae pond once thinking it was grass. He got a big shock and needed a good bath afterwards!

It does grannyqueenie Very strange this year.

I’m not sure that I would have guessed that was a canal, Kate1949, it looks more like grass than water!
Where did you bump into that chap, Ellianne?
Had a lovely reservoir walk today, the autumn colours were glorious. But what happened with the road markings, a council employee with a mischievous sense of humour perhaps?

The canal at the back of our house today. We've lived here for 40 years and we've never seen the canal totally covered in this green algae before.

Met a cheeky boy today.

Thank-you Greyduster. At least I got the not a pigeon bit correct!!!!

NotSpaghetti my photo was from Penrhyn but the view is similar to that from Sandy Beach, Trefadog, Borthwen and Church Bay. We lived on the cliff top at Borthwen for many years so the beach was a wonderful playground for our four boys.

Namsnanny

We were here last year, enjoying a cream tea, but for the life of me I cant remember the name of the village or the river!

It's in Wales, that much I know

Can anyone help me out?

Love those pictures. Thank you.

We lived just the other side of the bridge for a few years (about where the photographer was standing!) My parents owned the Pen y Bont Hotel which is a bit scruffy now but was lovely in the early 50s! The Conway frequently invaded our cellars.

LauraNorder your sea view reminds me of Borthwen, Llanfaethlu. So beautiful and especially so as you have it to yourself!

Not sure what it is, Lemon. I was just gobsmacked by this blaze of colour in a fairly scruffy patch of roadside shrubs. Google Lens suggested some kind of cotoneaster but I don't think that's correct.

Thanks for your kind invitation but I'm a tad wary about sailors since my friend set me up on a blind date with someone she said was a seafaring legend and he turned out to be Captain Pugwash! But if I can bring my own marlin spike, just in case of need....?

You could create a fairy glade in a corner of your garden....they would love that ( the DGC not the fairies) unless you really do have fairies at the bottom of the garden.?

haha lemongrove...I wish....but I do love fairies...and gardening...hence granddaughters thinking ?‍♂️?‍♀️
