Puerto de San Miguel, Ibiza

 Puerto de San Miguel is a small resort on the northern coast of Ibiza. Originally growing up around the fishing industry, the village became a tourist destination with it's quiet family resort away from the crowds and clubbing scene that Ibiza is more known for.

These pictures were taken in July 2014 with a Polaroid is2132 bridge camera. I had taken a boat along the coast from Portinatx where I was staying to see San Miguel and the nearby Cova de Can Marca. There are 13 pictures taken around the village to see below and on Clickasnap.













Thanks for looking, please take a moment to share and follow me on social media.

All the pictures remain the copyright of Colin Green.

Narrowboats, Waterfalls and Leaky Lock Gates at Walsden, West Yorkshire

Narrowboats gently bob, their painted hulls reflecting the sky. Waterfalls cascade down mossy rocks, a refreshing counterpoint to the still canal. And then there are the lock gates – leaky, perhaps, but adding a certain charm to the scene. Walsden, West Yorkshire, offers a delightful blend of industrial heritage and natural beauty, perfect for a peaceful canal-side stroll.

The first video was taken from bridge number 32 Copperas Bridge which carries the A6033 Rochdale Road across the canal. It shows a narrowboat sailing along the canal westward away from Gauxholme Railway Bridge.


The second short clip was taken showing a waterfall flowing nearby at the end of Farnboro Street alongside the Rochdale Canal. I just kind of found it relaxing watching the water cascading over the edge.


And the 3rd video shows lock 31 on the Rochdale Canal also known as Lightbank Lock. I  just found something very relaxing about flow of water through the side and bottom of the gate.

 There's something hauntingly beautiful about old photographs, especially when they're presented in a way that flips our perception....
