Part of this morning’s walk along the #RiverDon and back along part of the #TinsleyCanal in #Sheffield for #footpathFriday

Paved footpath with a railing and retaining wall separating it from the river, flowing away from the camera. Both sides lined with green vegetation and the sky is a light cloudy blueA murky but still canal basin, with a towpath on the right. In the middle distance is a set of lock gates. Both banks are lined with green trees and the sky between is light blue with few wispy clouds

My snap of one part of the 'Drink It In' artwork by Joanna Rucklidge. 
A bluey green experimental patterned print juxtaposes tiny aquatic larvae and fluvial pebble-like forms which on closer inspection are the outlines of littered plastic bottles collected from a short stretch of the River Don.

We recently enjoyed re-visiting our #MuirofAlford - #Breda - #RiverDon walk. However, we can now only recommend this route after crops have been harvested. See route guidance … 🤔

"If a river contains elevated levels of #phosphates, it can result in the development of blue-green algae, a highly toxic constellation of microscopic organisms, which can cause illness in humans and be fatal for #wildlife...Alarmingly, the readings taken were almost three times higher than the upper limit permitted by the #EnvironmentAgency."

It’s canoe competition day on the River Don at Bucksburn in Aberdeen. #aberdeen #aberdeenshire #riverdon #scotland

Two kayakers carrying their boats back upstream on the reverside footpath, almost hidden from view in the trees, fallen trees and bushes as they approach a listed brick tower.
