Waters of The Forest of Dean

I have lived near The Forest of Dean now for eight years, it's a beautiful place steeped in history.  We have spent a lot of time walking around many of the popular ponds and lakes which originally were man made to service the mining and forestry industries and have now become local beauty spots, picnic areas and angling pools.   I thought it would be a nice idea to capture these watery treasures at different times and seasons, so I have set myself a project with the hope that perhaps I can produce enough interesting images to create a small exhibition reflecting the title of this article.

Whilst I knew a reasonable number of locations, following some research I was surprised at how many there are scattered throughout the general area know as The Forest of Dean.   
My list currently includes the following locations:

Soudley Ponds | Cannop Ponds | Mallards Pike | Wenchford | Speech House Lake | 
Woorgreens Lake | Lightmoor | Waterloo Screens | Wigpool | Lydney Harbour | 
Lydney Park Estate | Steam Mills Lake | Newnham | Meadowcliffe | Plump Hill | 
Marians Pool 

I will publish a portfolio of my images on the website once I have concluded the project, and I will update my progress with selected images in this Blog which I hope you will follow.
