Not all landscape photos need to be of dramatic views. This simple shot of eel traps at Longstock on the River Test in Hampshire by Kevin Browne creates a wonderful tranquil desktop and mobile background image.
European freshwater eels make a complex migration between river and sea, breeding in the Sargasso Sea, North Atlantic, but living most of their adult life in fresh water rivers thousands of miles away. Eel traps were used to capture them as an abundant source of cheap food, and many still remain in rivers across Britain. The numbers of eels in British rivers are much diminished, so most eel traps are disused.
Kevin Browne is landscape photographer who also dabbles in interesting macro photography. You can see more of his work on his Instagram feed or on his website at kevinbrownephotography.com, where you can also purchase his photos as prints.
