Narrowboat Life

Location

Bradford On Avon (England), Kennet and Avon Canal.

 

Subject

A narrowboat is a houseboat built with a long and slim shape, suitable to navigate along narrow rivers and canals. In the United Kingdom it is a very common watercraft and, in the rest of the globe, one of the best known British symbols. The narrowboats are chiefly owned or rented for leisure, for traveling or just as accommodation. Some owners use them as second houses for weekends and holidays, and some use them as permanent dwellings. People from outside UK cannot really understand what riverside life is, unless they go there to spend hours strolling along canals, watching several watercrafts and talking with owners—like I did, by the way. In the case depicted in my photo, I would use the expression "way of life", but of course observations can change depending on the observer.
