Another attempt at this wonderful, delicate medium!

So difficult to handle the paint, and so difficult to paint trees, and so difficult to paint water – used a ghost wash of colours, keeping the paint wet as it drifted down the paper, changing the washes every second or two to reflect the buildings and trees, then working back in when the initial wash was dry – phew, new respect for watercolourists!
