FIsh Fingers and a Leaf

According to The Times, the British eat one million fish fingers every day - yes, 1,000,000 breaded or battered composition fish pieces every single day. Where the hell do they get them all from? If you believe what you read, the average Grimsby trawler skipper only has to land one cod a month before his quota is up and the hit men from the Fish Police are breathing down his neck.

The above mini-rant has almost nothing to do with today's pictures except that there is a water connection. There are no cod in the River Avon as far as I know. What fish there are will no doubt be bone-ridden and unpalatable. Nor are there any fish in the fountain by the canal basin at Stratford-upon-Avon but there was a leaf. Just out of interest I photographed it both across the light and against it. The difference is quite dramatic and not the least bit fishy.
