Moira Road, Donisthorpe
Taken from the crossroads between Church Street, Ashby Road and Measham Road. Somewhere along this road was a long line of terraced colliery cottages, since demolished probably due to subsidence and poor living conditions.
The image has been cropped to emphasise the dramatic slopes along this road. This, in addition to the handheld exposure during deep dusk and the f/1.4 aperture of a rather antiquated lens, creates a rather... dreamy image, to put it politely!

The end of the Ashby Canal (Moira to Donisthorpe)
This isolated stretch of the canal runs from Conkers (Moira) to this point in Donisthorpe, constructed between 1999 and 2005. This will supposedly be extended through Measham and be reconnected to the "real" Ashby canal terminal at Snarestone, finally connecting these few miles of canal to the national network. Despite currently being largely useless for navigation, it is a cherished feature for local walkers and cyclists, acting as a backbone for the Donisthorpe Woodland Park (Dominating the left side of the canal) and the Conkers development.
