More mystery - all is revealed

Adam got the answer: it's Kent Road Bridge 69 on the Oxford Canal.

An example of the individual style of many of our canal treasures.

And so is the bridge.

Now, who was it who was going to put up their own "mystery photo"? Herbie, wasn't it? Must have a look...

More mystery - still more

There have been some interesting suggestions as to the wording in the mystery photo. Perhaps this will help a little.
Again, this might or might not include some of the previously published bits of photo.

More mystery - yet more

Here's a little more of the same thing. It doesn't include the same blocks as yesterday's portion.

I don't want to make it too easy!

More mystery - more

Ooh! This has got you going! I've revealed a little more below. And - I should have said yesterday - it IS canal-related.

Ladies and gentlemen, your guesses please. (Via the comments box.)

More mystery!

Sue, your comment has encouraged me to do another "Mystery Photo" post. So soon, you ask? Yes, why not?

So here it is. Not much to go on, perhaps, but is it enough for Kevin, who "won" the last one?

Mystery photo - all is revealed

Well, I can't keep you hanging on any longer.

As Kevin correctly guessed right at the beginning, it is dew on a spider's web.

The web is on the ground, over a small hollow. There must be millions of such webs all over the place which we can't normally see. This was on the foggy South Downs a few weeks ago.

Here's a little more of yesterday's photograph.

Any more guesses?
