Here, you can get a good idea of the tight squeeze the boat has going through the lock.

Wow! I cannot believe how tight that is! There must be some paint missing off of that boat. Great shot to show just how tight it is.

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.

It looks like you could walk from one side to the other on top of the boat. Neat shot

Yes, indeed. Specifications for boat and canal had to be right on to accomplish this. Totally amazing. Another fine shot too.

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.

Super angle JimboB. It does show just how tight a fit it is. If I was going to ambush a boat, this would be the spot. Wonderful post.

Hey, Jimbob...

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.

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!

That looks like a tight squeese to me. Jimbo. I guess they have made that trip so many times it's a piece of cake for them. An excellent image.

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.

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!

Jimbob - The boat is so tightly fit in the lock that it looks miniature. The mooring system is elementary yet effective. Terrific image. Thad
