Seen Better Days

Seen Better Days

An old brick bridge taking the towpath over a stream at Cookham, Berkshire. It's certainly seen better days but the Thames Path skirts it so you don't have to walk over it! The Thames Path is a long-distance trail which follows the river all the way from Cricklade in the Cotswold Hills to the Thames Barrier in Greenwich, London. Cookham, on the banks of the Thames is a village lying in the furthest north-east corner of Berkshire, England. Here the artist Sir Stanley Spencer lived and painted. This image has added textures to give a pencil drawing effect.

Ian Lewis | Clifton Hampden Bridge

Clifton Hampden Bridge

An artistic view of the bridge over the River Thames at Clifton Hampden in Oxfordshire. This handsome bridge with its gothic arches was built in 1867 to replace a previous ferry service which had existed since medieval times. The architect was Sir George Gilbert Scott who also designed the Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras. It was originally a toll bridge but this ended in 1946 when the local councils bought it from the private owners. This view is from the Thames Path national trail. The image has added textures.

Ian Lewis | Picturesque Thames Boathouses At Goring

Picturesque Thames Boathouses At Goring

Boathouses on the banks of the River Thames at Goring-on-Thames opposite the lock and just upstream from the old mill. Goring is an extremely picturesque village on the north bank of the Thames in Oxfordshire, just over the river from Streatley in Berkshire. Here the river flows through the Goring Gap between the Chiltern Hills in the north and the Berkshire or North Wessex Downs in the south. Being so picturesque, Goring is a favourite location for photographers and painters - including JM Turner! This image has a textured finished in the style of a pencil drawing.

Ian Lewis | On The Thames At Bisham

On The Thames At Bisham

An impressionist's view of a launch travelling up the River Thames passing the parish church at Bisham in Berkshire. The 12th century parish church of All Saints stands on the banks of the Thames and is next door to Bisham Abbey, the National Sports Centre. Unsurprisingly, racing boat crews can often be seen training on the Thames here. This launch might well have come from the nearby Buckinghamshire town of Marlow-on-Thames - just downstream. This image has added textures to create an oil painting effect.

Ian Lewis | Lovre Palace From The Tuileries

Lovre Palace From The Tuileries

The view of the Louvre Palace as seen from the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. The Musée du Louvre is the world's largest art museum and is situated on the right bank of the River Seine. It started life as a castle which was demolished in 1546 to build the palace - the residence of French kings until the eventual move to Versailles. It became a museum in 1793 during the French Revolution to display the country's artistic masterpieces. In keeping, this image has been given a pencil drawing finish.

Ian Lewis | Wind Power And The Fells

Wind Power And The Fells

An impressionistic view of Cumbria's Northern Fells from the countryside near Silloth - with a couple of wind turbines dominating the scene. Afrter a rather stormy day the sky has cleared to give us a blustery, colourful sunset. More and more wind turbines are appearing - many of them offshore in wind farms. These two, however, stand in solitary state!

Ian Lewis | Footpath Over The River Pang

Footpath Over The River Pang

A footbridge over the River Pang in the watermeadows adjacent to the village of Pangbourne in Berkshire. The footpath leads from Pangbourne and follows the river, crossing here to emerge at Tidmarsh a mile or so away. The Pang is a chalk stream which rises in Compton on the Berkshire Downs (although this is dependant on rainfall) and flows through West Berkshire to join the Thames at Pangbourne. It has a wide variety of wildlife, supported by a large nature reserve at Tidmarsh. A digital art image with textures added to my original photograph.

Porthcressa Beach In The Scillies

Steps leading from the promenade to the sands of Porthcressa Beach at Hugh Town on St Mary's - the largest of the Isles of Scilly. The beach lies at the southern edge of the town which is the largest town and the administrative centre of the Scillies. The islands forming this archipelago lie about 25 miles off the south west coast of Cornwall and the only ways of reaching them are by boat or light aircraft. Cruise ships often lie at anchor off the harbour at Hugh Town.

Memories of Notre Dame

Looking along the River Seine to the magnificent cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris before the fire in August 2019. This image has been given an art finish. Work starting on its construction in 1150 and It was completed in 1260 but was added to over succeeding centuries. It was badly damaged during the French Revolution and then, during renovation work in 2019 was extremely seriously damaged when it caught fire but hopefully reconstruction will be successful and it will stand proudly once more.

Ian Lewis | Sightseeing Boat in Porto

Sightseeing Boat in Porto

A boat of sightseeers heading across the Douro River in the city of Porto (or Oporto). This city, the second largest in Portugtal, lies on its north west coast at the point where the Douro meets the Atlantic Ocean. Across the river here are the warehouses and offices of the port wine companies - well worth a visit! The centre of the city has, since 1996 been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This image has been processed to give a coloured pencil finish.

Ian Lewis | Footpath To Woodbridge Digital Art

Footpath To Woodbridge Digital Art

An artistic view of the approach to Woodbridge in Suffolk along the footpath beside the River Deben. Woodbridge lies about 9 miles from the Suffolk coast on the tidal stretch of the river - used to power the tide mill on the quay.. The town was once known for shipbuilding, rope-making and sail-making - and apparently some of Drake's warships were built here. The Deben flows from here to Felixtowe where it meets the sea. This stretch is a haven for wildlife being a Special Protection Area.

Ian Lewis | Aira Force Digital Art

Aira Force Digital Art

A charcoal drawing effect from an original photograph of Aira Force - a magical waterfall in England's Lake District. The river - the Aira Beck - flows from the heights of Stybarrow Dodd - 2,362 feet above sea level, eventually flowing into Ullswater - having first dropped 70 feet over this waterfall. The name 'Aira' is apparently from the Norse 'eyrr' meaning gravelly bank - the river flows through a gravelly spit as is meets the lake. The woodland was landscaped in Victorian times.

Ian Lewis | Woodbridge Waterfront

Woodbridge Waterfront

Looking across the marina to the quayside at Woodbridge in Suffolk. This picturesque town lies on the River Deben. Here the tidal section of the river flows on to reach the North Sea at Felixtowe, The town was once known for shipbuilding, rope-making and sail-making - and apparently some of Drake's warships were built here! Now we find boats of all shapes and sizes tied up on the quayside. In the background is the old tide mill, harnessing the power of the tides to turn its wheel.

Ian Lewis | The Tide Mill At Woodbridge Digital Art

The Tide Mill At Woodbridge Digital Art

The tide mill on the River Deben quayside at Woodbridge, Suffolk. This is the 'newest' of the mills that have stood on this site having been built in the 1600s. The earliest recorded mill here was in 1170. During th middle ages it was run by the local Augustinian priory but at the time of the Dissolution it passed into the hands of Henry VIII. It operated until 1957 sfter which it became derelict. However, following subsequent restoration it was re-opened in 1973. My original photograph with added textures.

Ian Lewis | Late Afternoon On The Deben

Late Afternoon On The Deben

A scene captured late in the afternoon on the River Deben near Woodbridge in Suffolk with an impressionist finish. This is the tidal stretch of the river which flows on to meet the North Sea at Felixtowe. Not only popular as a centre for watersports, particularly sailing and canoeing, this is an important ecological area - designated as a RAMSAR site (protected wetland) and an AONB (Area of Outsrtanding Natural beauty. A riverside path leads into the town of Woodbridge and its quayside.

Ian Lewis | Impression of Amsterdam

Impression of Amsterdam

An impressionist's view of a typical street in Amsterdam - consisting mainly of one of the city's many canal highways. Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands (though the seat of government is The Hague) started life as a fishing village in the C12th. But apparently, following floods in the 1170s, the locals built a dam and bridge across the Amstel River - hence its name. Unsurprisingly, one of the best ways to see the city is to travel by boat along its beautiful tree-lined waterways.

Ian Lewis | A Yacht On Lake Garda

A Yacht On Lake Garda

A yacht sailing across the northern end of Lake Garda in Northern Italy from the town of Limone. Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy and stretches up in a northerly direction to the Dolomite Mountains which, at this northern end surround it and sweep down to its shores. Just further north at the tip of the lake lies the town of Riva Del Garda with its many shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. This image has a textured finish in the style od a coloured pencil drawing

Ian Lewis | Abingdon Waterside

Abingdon Waterside

A view over the River Thames to the town of Abingdon in Oxfordshire. The spire of St Helen's Church dominates the scene - a well known landmark to users of the Thames. It inspired the artist JMW Turner who featured it in a painting called 'Abingdon'. This ancient town is now in Oxfordshire although until relatively recently it was in Berkshire and was at one time the county town. This image was captured on a sunny winter's day. Textures applied in post processing to simulate a drawing.

Ian Lewis | The Menai Suspension Bridgee

The Menai Suspension Bridgee

The suspension bridge crossing the Menai Straits, connecting the island of Anglesey to mainland Wales viewed here from Anglesey. Before the bridge, the only means of crossing was by ferry - risky due to the fast flowing waters of the Straits. Cattle going to market on the mainland had to swim over - many being swept away by the currents! The bridge was designed by Thomas Telford, work starting in 1819 and finishing in 1826. It was designed so tall ships could sail undeneath.

Ian Lewis | On The Alde

On The Alde

A boat (possibly steam) chugging up the River Alde at Snape in Suffolk. It's here that the river becomes tidal as it flows on past Aldeborough from which it takes its name - to meet the North Sea near Orford and for its last few miles becomes the River Ore. This is an important ecological area - a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as well as being an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In 1588, 4 ships were launched from here to fight the Spanish Armada. Now we find sailing clubs!

Ian Lewis | Landing Stages At Henley

Landing Stages At Henley

Landing stages along the river bank in the town of Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. This image has been processes to simulate a pencil drawing. In the background is the bridge over the river taking road traffic towards Maidenhead in Berkshire. It dates from 1786 and is a Grade 1 listed historical structure. On the opposite (Remenham) bank is the world famous Leander Rowing Club. Founded in 1818 it's one of the oldest rowing clubs in the world and the oldest non-academic one.

Towpath at Talybont on Usk

The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal as it passes through the village of Talybont on Usk in Powis, South Wales. This isolated canal which meanders through the Brecon Beacons National Park was originally designed to carry coal and iron to Newport on the Welsh coast. At present the section from the canal basin at Brecon to Pontnewydd is the only navigable part but plans are in place to eventually extend this to Newport.

Ian Lewis | A Backwater At Goring on Thames

A Backwater At Goring on Thames

A quiet backwater at Goring on Thames, Oxfordshire. Here the water is calm having rushed through the mill and now makes its way back to the main river. On the far bank is the church of St Thomas of Canterbury. Goring is a small village on the north bank of the Thames and is joined to Streatley on the south bank by an attractive road bridge. Here the river runs through the Goring Gap between the Chiltern Hills and the North Wessex Downs. The house in the background belonged to George Michael.

The lovely old mill at Hambleden on the River Thames in Buckinghamshire, sitting just above the exceptionally long weir. Walkers can cross the weir on a footway which leads to Hambleden Lock on the Berkshire bank. From here the Thames Path leads upstream to Henley on Thames and downstream to Marlow. The mill itself has ancient origins and was apparently mentioned in the Domesday Book! More recently it has been converted into flats.

Ian Lewis | The River Kennet At Burghfield

The River Kennet At Burghfield

A stretch of the River Kennet at Burghfield in Berkshire,as it winds its way towards Reading. This is a navigable stretch of the river which forms part of the Kennet and Avon Canal. Here it is quiet after flowing under the roaring traffic of the M4. A little further on it passes Burghfield Mill, a large Georgian building now converted to flats. The Kennet and Avon was constructed in the early 1800s to connect Bristol with London via Reading, mainly to carry Bath stone for buildings.

Ian Lewis | Towpath Into Hungerford

Towpath Into Hungerford

The towpath by the Kennet and Avon Canal leading eastwards into the town of Hungerford in West Berkshire. During the mid 1800s, this was a thriving industrial area lined with canalside industrial buildings. Boats would have been busy loading and unloading goods such as Bath stone for building the new mansions in London. The canal was constructed between 1794 and 1810 to link the Thames at Reading with Bristol, enabling goods to be transported smoothly from London to Bristol.

Ian Lewis | A Berkshire Half Timbered Cottage

A Berkshire Half Timbered Cottage

A cottage down a country lane in the village of Sulham, Berkshire. The village lies at the foot of a steep and wooded hill just to the south of Pangbourne.

Ian Lewis | Over The Thames To Streatley

Over The Thames To Streatley

The view from the north bank of the River Thames at Goring in Oxfordshire,looking across to Streatley village and Streatley Hill, or Lardon Chase in Berkshire. Here the Thames flows between the North Wessex or Berkshire Downs to the south and the Chiltern Hills to the north, this feature being known as the Goring Gap. The weirs here once provided the power for water mills and now control the flow of the river. Only one working mill survives, further downstream at Mapedurham.
