Patti:

I like the whirly bird thingy too. and the reflections in the water. Do people live on these boats?

How peaceful this is Patti. The reflection of the clouds in the water is very serene. Do you suppose the whirly bird thing is a TV antenna? If so, it sure is decorative. You've done a great job here with composition, clarity and color. Very well done.

you can go right into the city centre if you want Jen - there is a network of canals. Higher Poynton where I took the photograph is part way along the Macclesfield Canal which you can see in this map and you can also see how it links up with the other canals in the area. :) Patti

Those boats look so cool! I'd really like to see a side view of them too! (hint,hint.. LOL) I think the thing you call a whirlybird is a power generator to keep the batteries charged. I've seen those used on campers & ice shacks here. I'd love to go for a ride on these..looks like fun! Let me know when you buy yours Patti. LOL Nice capture! C):-)

What in the world do these boats do? Are they for tourists? Must be. Now that's the way to ride in comfort. very nice capture. NTUR.

Well done Patti, giving us all an interesting and different view of our beautiful country. Michael Douglas once had a holiday on one of these a few years back.

These look like the perfect "home away from home" on the weekend and vacations Patti. I see a few houseboats around where I live but most people here are camper crazy. I think I'd rather stay on the boat LOL. Thanks Patti!
