Swan in the River Thames at Henley-on-thames

The River Thames

 Looking through soft focus pink flowers in the immediate foreground, a street of old brick and half-timbered buildings stretches away to a flint and stone church with a blue clock face. Cars and a bus are on the street and people on the pavement, while there is red, white and blue bunting overhead against the blue sky. Wooded hills can be seen in the background.
