Swanholme Lakes Sunset I saw a nice sunset developing while walking in Hartsholme Park. I decided to move swiftly down to Swanholme Lakes where I hoped to get some nice colours reflected in the water. I tried to attract some waterfowl as foreground interest, but to no avail. However, I noticed the nice ripple patterns caused by my pebble throwing, so at the height of the afterglow I threw a nice big one in and took this photo.

White Bridge, Hartsholme Country Park, Lincoln I love Hartsholme Park, but it is badly in need of some new investment. A recent survey described it as "well loved but not well looked after" (I might be paraphrasing a bit here, but that was the essence). The Rangers do a great job on a limited budget, but there are plans to make the area even better and more visitor friendly, funding permitting.
