A little lipstick and mascara and some time in the gym and she'll be ship-shape in no time. The fellow with the bicycle on the other hand could use a complete engine overhaul. An interesting capture, Rob. Nice details and colours in the scene.

A lot to look at in this one Rob. I like the shade and think I will sit there a while. Looks like a typical day in your part of the world.

I like this!!

Nice clear shot, but she does need a good paint job. I like the stillness of the water. Beautiful colors here.

That's probably why she's put into port. Pretty color all around in this image, Rob.

Very nice capture Rob, in your great way. You've used lighting and angle of light very well. Also the title took my attention. In three languages, English, Dutch and Turkish it has different meanings but all are valid. Beter in Dutch and better in English has the same meaning and the title tells the past. In Turkish beter means "worse" and the title tells present.

That early morning or late afternoon sun (which, I don't know) really puts things in a good light... nice shot!

Out right stunning looking photo and very interesting looking photo to.Nice detail,colour and light as well.

I would love to hear the stories this old girl could tell.

Poop, Rob!!! You're in the Caedes Cadre too. I can't keep up with all these comments if you're going to post two shots a day. From this point forward, you're on notice that I'll only be commenting on one of your shots each day. I just commented on "Elbe"; so pretend that you didn't read this.

Rob - This is a fixer-upper that needs help sooner than later, as it is in sad shape. Having plied the canals for many years, it would be sad to see it further deteriorate. Thad
