Taken at The Canal – Waltham Cross – Hertfordshire, England in 2006. Just feel that the ambience in this image …*tells the story, poem, and rests your mind….the natural lighting at sunset and the mirror images on the water, i feel, are transporting. / hope you like this. / suzanne
a rare snowfall in burnley (well, rare in that we never have snow that sticks, despite it being the north of england!)
Narrow boats on the Basingstoke canal taken this morning.

Let us keep it blue. A very early-morning shot of the “Beresteinse vaart”, the old canal that connects ´s-Graveland with Hilversum. Once upon the time it was the main traffic artery for the industrial village of Hilversum, with its booming textile and tapestry industry, linking it. via ´s-Graveland and Weesp with Amsterdam. Today you will find there only a lonely canoe, and not at this time of morning. ´s-Graveland, 7th June 2008, 5.18 am / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 24 mm / F 6.3, 1/20, ISO 200
For me, the essence of Venice is captured in this shot, the constant sound of lapping water, the clip, clap of shoes on the stone pavement, diverse architecture and the gondolas tied up at the end of the day, but although the music ceases momentarily on the canals it will soon begin again behind costumed and masked performers inside a beautifully maintained Opera house or Church. To really feel the magic of Venice it is essential to stay for a while and wander the maze of pathways and bridges until you find a breathtaking “vista” of your own!
A view of Cat Gallows Bridge over the Coventry Canal in North Warwickshire. I dread to think how the place got it’s name but it’s been called that for a few hundred years. It’s probably a corruption of an Old English or Saxon name that had a completely different meaning to the modern name.
Here another shot from my visit to Utrecht last week. A neat lady had just cleaned her bit of the quay a few meters ahead, and so these leaves were slowly floating along the Nieuw Canal (“Nieuwe gracht”). I was just in time to capture them before they had moved along, and I was really glad that I was able to catch this extra bit of the autumnal atmosphere. Utrecht, 4th November 2008, 4.04 pm / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 20 mm / F 4, 1/30, ISO 400

Looking down the Grand Canal from the top of the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy. Water traffic is chaotic here with Gondolas, Water Taxis, Ferries, Speedboats and even Rowboats trying to make headway in the crowded canal.

Believed to be the oldest man-made navigation in the country that is still navigable, the Fossdyke stretches 11 miles from the River Trent at Torksey Lock and arrives at Brayford Pool. More information on the Fossdyke Canal can be found on the Waterscape website. / Following the Fossdyke and the Witham through the ages Early history / Some historians and archaeologists believe that the Fossdyke Canal was built by the Romans around 120AD to link the River Trent with their city at Lincoln. The earliest definite documentary reference to the Fossdyke Canal is from 1121. 13th century – 16th century / Waterways were responsibility of various landowners and the Church; maintenance inefficient and by 17th century almost impassable (though Lincoln still England’s 4th largest port in 13th century) 18th – 19th century / Fossdyke is leased to various parties – on understanding that trading profits would be used to maintain the waterway 1753 / Act of Parliament leads to straightening and dredging of Witham and Fossdyke 1766 / Grand Sluice and lock built at Boston to protect Witham from tide and flood damage Early 1800s / Major schemes to alleviate problems caused by mud in the tidal section of the Witham between the coast and Boston. Witham was also straightened and deepened between Lincoln and Boston. 1846 / Witham and Fossdyke leased to Great Northern Railway Company End 19th century / Both navigations running at a loss Early 1950s / Regular barge traffic along Witham ceased 1964 / Brayford Pool cleared, 25 wrecked boats removed 1969 / Brayford Trust established 1972 / Commercial carrying along Fossdyke Canal ceased / Please visit me at my website / PaulThompsonPhotography / Canon 30D / ISO 200 / F11
Another attempt at something a little bit different for me. I generally stick to colour, but I thought I would try converting a few of my images into mono.
