Photos: Henley on Thames, an idyllic Spring Sunday sojourn

Few of us from the office decided to go and have a good time in Henley upon Thames, which is a few miles upstream of London, drink beer, take some pics, drink beer, have a nice walk, drink beer, see the scenery, drink beer…

Here are some of the photographs and here’s the slideshow.

Lovely tree. Looks like a cedar plant

And my little princess modelling for me :)









 

Reached the lock. The lock keeper on the right.

A small waterfall. Luca taught me to fix the exposure :)

The fast flowing water down the sluice gates.

A swan checking out food underwater.

Couple of ducks.

 

And some more duckies. Better divert around them.

Clinging to the wall.

A gyrocopter on the left and a balloon on the right.
