Thanks Fordie, what a star you are... But I didn't take it, i had it downloaded and thought it looked same as ... see below.... beautiful piccie though

Phoenix n max, see how identical this is to yours? Thats why i asked if you got it from astronomy of the day. Either that, of you've sent your photo in and you should be given royalties, you could be famous?

Yeah i'm just looking at it. In mine the tripod leg is just visible in the left hand corner as a friend was stood beside me taking a shot too.

How weird - where is the one you have from ? I've got a succession of them taken as the sun went down. I thought that one was the best.

Deffo my photo and I don't recall posting it ever before either !

Heres one a few mins earlier and minus tripod leg. It was taken Easter 2003. I'm confused now

Jools, thanks for the comments, BUT when I took the shot on a exposure of about 6 sec at f22 a bloke in a single skull rowed across the river in front of me right across the picture,You can even see where he dipped his oars in on each stroke If you look just under the bridge you can see a faint streeking on the water where he rowed by,that's how to take pictures in crowded places , unless the subject is stationary if won't come out on film.
