Are those stars I'm seeing in the second one or is there massive amounts of dust on your lens?

Masses and masses of pollen from the Willows around the lake. It's actually the stock pond for a local commercial carp fishery. I was lucky enough to get invited to a two day fishing trip, studying the benefits of fishing for improved mental health for military veterans. I even managed to catch two approx 16 Lb Mirror Carp. Oh and take a load of photos too.

OK and I even converted them to monochrome so they would fit in this thread. Oh and I do have the copyright holders permission to post his image, and he's posted mine too.

Very cool! Those are gorgeous fish. I bet they didn't come in peaceably.

Oh yes they put up quite a fight! The first one nigh on pulled the rod/reel out of the rest and into the lake. The two chirps from the bite alarm were just enough to wake me up, but I only just grabbed the rod in time, it was 02:00 though. The problem was that as I was sleeping by the rods in my wheelchair, I had done the safety strap up, so I didn't slide out. But the time I had finished, the gouges in the gravel bank of the lake made it look like the fish had had a good attempt at pulling me and the chair in the water. Great fun! The second fish on the second afternoon, probably fought even harder than the first one.

It was a really great couple of days, and I have to put on record that the guys organising everything, and we had several expert anglers giving up their time to help us over the two days, did an absolutely wonderful job.
