It's sad that I can't look at a beautiful photo of a UK river without wondering how much sewage has been discharged there.
In 2023, the sewer right near where this photo was taken spilled for a total of 299.25 hours, which is quite low compared to many other locations.
I worry about the long term state of UK rivers.
If anyone from the UK reads this, https://theriverstrust.org/sewage-map has info on how people can help
The state of waterways in this country, and the sheer greed and arrogance of the companies tasked with managing, is abhorrent. There is no way that water should've ever been privatised in England. Water as a resource is a natural monopoly.
Nice picture, I really do like it, but something looks odd, I can’t quite put my finger on it. Tilt shifted? Over saturated?
Thanks! Sorry to hear that something seems off for you. There's no tilt-shift; this was shot zoomed in at f/11 for sharpness throughout. Saturation has actually been turned down as well, as the greens in all the foliage were really popping.
