Today was sunny with the odd shower, which made for some nice light and skies at Magor Marsh in South Wales.

Pictured is a sculpture of an 18th century 'brinker' - one who lived beside a 'reen' (drainage channel) in the marsh and was responsible for maintaining the bank. The brinker has nest boxes built into her pockets and was created by local willow-workers, Sarah Hatton and Melanie Bastier.

The sculpture described above is a large wicker-work figure of a woman in long dress and broad-brimmed hat, wielding a scythe to trim the banks of the reen. Her hat is just a frame, possibly picked clean of twigs by nesting birds. She stands in a small wooden-fenced enclosure, reflected in the still waters of the reen. Behind the figure, an open expanse of grasses and reeds is lit by the hazy afternoon sun, backed by a woodland of willows and other deciduous trees, and a distant wind turbine. A bank of low cumulous clouds, dark with rain, float in a blue sky, lit from above, depositing a shower on distant fields beyond the woods.
