Walking the public footpaths is a good way to keep fit; just remember to take a camera with you, especially near the river; who knows what you might see?

Day and night make for a familiar contrast; but during dusk and in moonlight, the eye is not perhaps as reliable as it should be. Here are some images that offer a strangely different perspective on the river area and public footpaths.
