Seven Steps, Grand Union Canal

Please View Large

This image was taken on the banks of the Grand Union Canal, at Watford in Northamptonshire. Please note that this is not the Watford that we all know but a small hamlet tucked away deep in Northants.

Although only 4 steps can be seen here the other three were being worked on and I felt spoilt the image.

    It reminds me of the seven locks a bit further down at Stock Bruerne. But I don’t think I’ve seen locks that are so close together before! Great balanced shot!
