It’s Rolagram time!

Today, Thursday, September 21st, is officially Autumn in the northern hemisphere. Following a day of very wet and windy, the sun has come out. At least for a while, and to give me time to take a walk and shoot a few photographs.

The Kennet and Avon Canal flows through Bradford on Avon. It’s very popular with plenty of narrowboats passing through. Many live in them all year round and boats are available to hire for holidays. The towpath forms a major part of cycle route 4 from Bristol to London. Images: Roland’s Travels

The White Swan Hotel. Opened in the 15th century. Sadly this month, on September 16th, it closed, serving overnight guests breakfast on the 17th. It has been mothballed for now with currently no plans for its future. Another sad victim of the economic woes of the hospitality trade. Image: Roland’s Travels

Thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs and capturing the essence of Autumn in Bradford on Avon. The transition from summer to autumn is always a special time, and your images perfectly showcase the charm of this season. It reminds me of my time studying in Sheffield during my undergrad days decades ago. It's wonderful to see how nature transforms, and your photographs bring out the beauty of the beautiful surroundings.
