I came across these canoes tied to the stonework of an old wharf by the Hope & Anchor pub in Ross on Wye. The recent rains had left water and leaf debris in them and I initially wondered why they hadn't been cleaned out. Then it occurred to me that they were fastened there to advertise the services of one of the companies that rents canoes for trips along the river. The wharf enabled me to get above them and I took this photograph of them looking like the petals of a flower head. The colour version of the shot wasn't very colourful so I settled on black and white that made them much more striking.
