The River Itchen in summer at Martyr Worthy, Hampshire, southern England by Philip Mitchell
The blue summer sky is reflected in the calm, clear waters of the River Itchen as it glides through the quiet, unspoilt Hampshire countryside near Marty Worthy. This chalk stream is typical of the little rivers that flow from the South Downs to the sea, providing excellent trout fishing. This is one of several stretches of the Itchen that are nature reserves in the care of the Hampshire Wildlife Trust. To follow the path along the bank is almost to be walking through one of nature’s gardens, especially when the wild flowers are in bloom.
I am based in mid-Hampshire and have enjoyed photographing a wide variety of subjects for over 40 years, though the digital revolution has been a real boon. If you visit my BubbleSite you will be able to view all of my pictures that are available for sale arranged in conveniently themed galleries.
