Watching the Worker

Last year the aqueduct on the Basingstoke Canal, over the A331 Blackwater Valley relief road, was drained for some planned maintenance. The guy you can see working here was catching any trapped fish before the main work commenced. I took the shot because it was one of those classic depictions of people watching one person doing all the work. In this respect I think it is a timeless image albeit a recent, modern, photograph.
