'Goring Gap'
by PeterKR
The stretch of The Thames through the twin villages of Goring and Streatley is known as the Goring Gap. It meanders through the valley between the South Oxfordshire hills and the Berkshire Downs.
This is the view from Lardon Chase (NT) above Streatley looking East towards Reading on the horizon.
Right of centre is the Tilehurst Water Tower around 10km away and to it's left can be seen the 3 blades of the wind turbine beside the M4 south of Reading (this is around 17km away !). Near the far left is what looks like a church near to Reading town centre about 15km away. Far right is a telecoms mast.
In the foreground a pleasure boat heads downstream towards Pangbourne whilst mid view the A329 heads for the same destination before continuing on to Reading. Just above the road can just be seen some blocks of flats near to Pangbourne station.
Taken around noon on Tuesday with the sun high to the right with the Sigma 18-250mm on the K-r.
Best viewed large (preferably on a large TV !!!)
