Sky Watch Friday 20



Skies over Lincolnshire


In the top centre picture is a swing bridge being installed over the River Slea, with the Mill in Moneys Yard,which marks the centre of town, behind it.


The bridge is being installed to permit canal boats access near to the centre of town, which would increase tourism.
It has been over six weeks in progress and is more than two weeks over its projected completion date.

We do not have canal boats using the shallow and narrow Slea, although there has been considerable canal restoration
work done else where in the county, to provide river travel and scenic walks between Lincoln and Boston.

The ducks are suffering as they are restricted to the lower end of the river and away from the pedestrians who would normally feed them daily.
Following Lord L and my game of bowls today, we went and fed the ducks, Moor Hens and any other hungry birds.
our pictures show eager ducks.
The skies over our town did not lend themselves to photography earlier in the day,
then everything started to happen at 2.30pm.

Please click on any picture to enlarge it.

There are lots and lots of other people snapping the skies from around the world, just click on the
Sky Watch Banner in my side bar on the right to see amazing pictures.

Thanks go to all the voluntary team members of Sky Watch for ensuring an effortless viewing of this meme.
