A bridge (obviously) over the river Trent (Correction - It's actually over the River Sow)

Great image Mike, love the depth and tonal range in this, good POV, like the way you have captured the reflections, is this Old Hill Bridge at Tixall Wide which is in fact a canal

@P J W Miller: It's on the river Trent Pete. I think the canal is the next bridge along if you're heading towards the old gate house.

Nope after some investigation, it is Tixall Bridge crossing the River Sow, sometimes called Milford Bridge. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/5526654 on Holdford Road, ahh the wonders of google earth

@P J W Miller: Well researched. The Trent must be very close then.
