Back to our regular schedule, here's a @geograph-gbi.bsky.social calendar image for the start of September: Frankton junction, Llangollen Canal.

A view on a golden Autumn evening towards a red-brick humped canal bridge. The towpath runs along the left of the canal and before the bridge is a fingerpost by the towpath, with one finger pointing right: a widening in the canal shows that another canal leaves the photo on the right of the frame. The hedge along the towpath is bushy, with some bushes reddened by hawthorn berries; the various trees dotted around the picture, mostly beyond the bridge but one drooping in from top right near the camera, are in full leaf; the leaves are mostly green but a few are turning yellow.

Our visitor centre is open on the remaining three weekends of the month. You may know our boat trips have been suspended due to low water.
