Think that the owner/skipper of the boat must have nerves of steel, Jimbob. This image gives us a very proper idea indeed that there's no room at all for manoeuvring in this lock. Would get claustrofobia, lol. Thanks for another very fine one in this series. Regards, Cornelius.
Well, this is really tight. The captain must be a very good navigator. Anyway, at this moment I'd like to be inside with that company, rather than out with these poor women.
My eyes were immediately drawn to Helga and her foxy friend. They are a couple of lookers in those revealing outfits. :-)
From this angle I can see that the canal boat is full of tourists. And I thought poor Helga and Frank were toiling on a hot but quiet day.
Wonderful capture of the textures and colors in the stone work. It's probably my imagination, but the shot feels like it's leaning ever so slightly to the left based on the pole that the rope is tied to.
Excellent composition as always. I love that old bridge in the background.
Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
Brilliant image again. In this image you can't actually see the water in the lock, so looks like it could be in dry-dock!! ha ha Great composition and colour too. Well done! Ann
Wow, what a cool shot and cool place. What came first, the boat or the lock? Whoever built this must have had to make some exact measurements for this to work.
Jim That is some close sailing to fit that ship in those locks like that. Makes me wonder how beat up the side of those boats get. Its a great shot! Paul
