On Tuesday morning someone tweeted "Why is the Goyt orange this morning?"
A few hours later I took this photo of the river looking upstream from Howard Street bridge. I haven't discovered the reason for the colouration, but it looks like a seepage of iron-ore into the river.
Downstream of the bridge the Goyt flows over a weir and the river Tame joins it from underneath the M60 motorway to form the river Mersey. Note the darker colour of the emerging, converging Tame.
This is a closer view of the water flower over the weir from the other direction. I'll post some more photographs from this point tomorrow.

The sepia tone on the first picture look amazing ! I first thought it was photoshopped : it looks so unreal... Nice serie.
ReplyDeleteQuite peculiar. A good subject to photograph.
