Fisheye View From The Jetty - February

I decided to try my fisheye lens for this shot. A bigger expanse of sky in this capture and as you can see from the clouds, the rain is heading our way again.

Usually the wide angle on my Sony RX100M3 will give me two thirds of the view of the lake at the southern end of Trentham Gardens. To the right you can now see the landing stage used by the local rowing club and there is a weir (Stone Weir) beyond the canoes....looks like an infinity pool from this angle! The lake drains off and down into the River Trent on the other side of the path, just below the weir. There is a small footbridge for walkers and joggers, wheelchair users to use. Deer can be viewed at times in the fields beyond the canoes. The Fen (Lower Ley Fenland) next to the fields is a favourite spot for the Herons and Kingfishers.

Behind me is the Lakeside Café, a timber framed structure dating from the 1930's. A place where you can sit in the warmth with a nice hot cuppa or a cooling drink in the summer and watch the wildlife on the lake. Coots, Moorhens and Grebes nest in the rushes situated just before the trees.

Anyone who is interested in local history, photographs and maps might find the link below of some interest...it gives quite a lot of info about the history of the park, buildings and surrounding area. It certainly shows just how much things have changed but are now being protected at Trentham.
