My mountain bike has suffered a breakdown in the form of a broken spoke, resulting in the somewhat distorted rim of the rear wheel. It will be out of commission for around a week, so it's back on the hybrid bike for transport - that, or nothing.
Being restricted as to where I can ride I keep it simple and pay a morning visit to Poole Park, Poole, Dorset. There are various resources to keep a visitor entertained dotted around the area; restaurants and cafés, the boating lake and resulting variety of waterfowl, or the narrow gauge railway - not to mention Poole itself, just a few hundred yards away - but it's the Poole Radio Yacht Club (image) that gets the attention of my lens. The club, established in 1950, organise races for experienced yachtsmen or provide tuition for beginners, and sail boats in five classes.
24-70 mm f/2.8 EX DG Sigma lens. 1/400 second at f/8. -0.33 EV. ISO 400. Converted to mono in Photoshop.
