Etherial Stratford and WidWed results.

We were over in Stratford today for a Blipmeet Brunch with Hildasrose, Technophobe, LooseCanon and Mr&Mrs Chrispybox in the Prospero Lounge of ketchup dispenser fame.  After an enjoyable meal we took a short walk to the canal basin where a couple of forlorn looking swans were having some real issues with the frozen surface, quite sad to see - hope they are ok.

Gill and I stayed on in the town and while Gill had her eyes tested, I went back to the canal/river and found some fascinating etherial light by the RSC building.  My blip is an 6 frame HDR, shot by the camera and assembled in Lightroom.
  Looks much better seen in large.
