Jefferies Lock from under Wilstone Bridge
Taken from the towpath underneath Wilstone Bridge (No.3 on the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal) looking eastwards into the open bottom gate of Jefferies Lock (No.8). The water level was very high after weeks of heavy rain which had caused flooding in some parts of the country (Jan 2014).

The Tring reservoirs from the air
Seen just before entering the cloud blanket, Wilstone is the square reservoir in the centre of the photo. Startopsend reservoir, Marsworth Reservoir and Tringford reservoir can be seen towards the lower left corner.
All four reservoirs are owned by British Waterways and provide a water supply to the Grand Union Canal which can be seen diagonally crossing the lower right corner of the photo.
The reservoirs are a designated "Biological Site of Special Scientific Interest". They are important habitats for wildfowl and other wetland birds. This http://www.tringreservoirs.org.uk/p/history-of-reservoirs.html provide more information about the wildlife to be found there as well as a section on the history of the reservoirs.
