This is my haphazard contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: A River Runs Through It.
I say haphazard because while I have a variety of photos of various rivers I couldn’t come up with a theme so this is a random selection of photos of four different rivers.
This is the range light at the mouth of the Saugeen River where it flows into Lake Huron in Southampton, Ontario.
The River Thames, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben from the south bank, London, England.
The Sydenham River flows over the Niagara Escarpment at Inglis Falls in Grey County, Ontario.
The River Dee flowing under the Old Dee Bridge at Chester, Cheshire. Originally the site of a Roman bridge this bridge dates back to a major rebuild in 1387.

Beautiful rivers – my heart belongs to the Thames and London!
Thanks Ann-Christine. I’m just glad you can see it, the WordPress gremlins are back. When I published WordPress told me there was nothing to publish and it hasn’t appeared in the WordPress reader.
Strange…and impossible to answer with likes, impossible to get the right answer from the right person…Have you noticed that as well? The comments are jumbled and “on top of each other”. Messy.
Yes. Each time they update the app it gets worse. But I published from a web browser and got the message that the post was empty. At the moment, each time I visit Facebook I get ads for WordPress for building every type of web site imaginable. It males me wonder if they’re overloading their systems.
I think they are…or will be these months.
Love the Thames.
Thank you. It was taken in the very early 1980s when I was field testing a black and white film prior to its release.
Yes, photo taken beautifully, David. Stay safe.
You stay safe also.
Beautiful selections, David! The Thames with the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben on one side is my favorite.
Thanks Amy. That seems to be the most popular by a large margin at the moment.
Love your foggy Thames River image David
Thanks Tina. Everyone seems to be picking that as their favourite.
Interesting comment re WP David. I’ve not seen any issues lately. I use the old WP Admin system to write posts. Do you?
I’m still writing posts in a web browser as the app is so flaky and inconsistent. I only use the app for comments and likes and even then it’s flaky. I will ‘like’ something and a minute later the app will show that I hadn’t liked it.
I like your comment and the like disappeared.
I, too, use the old WP Admin to write posts, found by scrolling to the bottom of the left-hand column after clicking My Sites. When doing Likes and Comments I often have to refresh a page or app, between Macbook, iPad, iPhone, Safari, and Firefox, to get them to ‘take’ or ‘appear’. Not an exact science. I like Safari/WP Admin for constructing posts, and Firefox for viewing and doing Likes and Comments.
I have a basic version of Admin bookmarked in Chrome which is what I use for writing and editing posts. I may try staying there for everything and abandon the WordPress app.
Excellent. The monochromes are my favorites.
Thanks John. Everyone seems to like the monochrome photo of the River Thames.
It reminded me that I don’t know where, or if, I have photos of my stays in London. I lived in Earls Court for six months on work assignment at Heathrow.
The crazy thing is, I was wandering around central London early one Sunday morning field testing the soon to be released Ilford XP1. I had completely forgotten that detail until a couple of weeks ago when I started digitising some of my black and white negatives and discovered I had used XP1.
