I created a photo illustration from some photos I took on our recent Alaska trip. I really wanted to see the Bald Eagle in the sky over this scene and the whale in such a gorgeous background, but it didn't happen until I combined the parts together on my computer after I got home.

Had a lot of fun today playing with photos on my iPad while flying over the U.S. on my way to Michigan. The odd spire - that I tripled above - towers over Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles. I suspect it has a purpose but I have no idea what it is!

The Erewash Canal at Sandiacre—where industrial heritage meets tranquil waters. Barges here have quite the story to tell.

🚢 Historical Role of Barges at Sandiacre

- Coal Transport: Originally, barges were vital for moving coal from Derbyshire’s pits to the River Trent for onward trade to Nottingham and Leicester.

- Industrial Goods: They also carried pottery, textiles, iron, and even bombshells during WWII from Stanton Ironworks.

- Commercial Decline: With the rise of railways in the 19th century, barge traffic dwindled. By 1952, the last commercial narrowboat operation ended.

🏡 Sandiacre’s Canal Scene Today

- Sandiacre Lock Cottages: These restored lock keeper’s cottages and stables are a charming nod to the canal’s working past.

- Padmore Moorings: A popular spot for pleasure craft and narrowboats, offering moorings and access to local amenities.

- Preservation Efforts: The Erewash Canal Preservation & Development Association (ECP&DA) was formed in 1968 to save the canal from closure. Their work led to its upgrade to ‘cruiseway’ status in the 1980s.

🌿 Leisure and Wildlife

- Boating: While commercial barges are long gone, leisure boating thrives. The canal is quieter than others, making it ideal for peaceful cruising.

- Fishing & Nature: Anglers enjoy catching roach, bream, chub, and perch. The surrounding area is rich in wildlife, with kingfishers, herons, and even water voles spotted nearby.

📏 Barge Dimensions

- Max Length: 80 ft 4 in

- Max Width: 13 ft 5 in

- Draught: 4 ft

- Headroom: 7 ft 4 in

These specs allow for broad-beam barges, though most modern traffic is narrowboats.
