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.

Prompts: Huge pink and white peony rose hybrid

Style: Abstract Fluid

Wombo does a really beautiful job creating Peonies and Roses. These hybrids look more like Peonies, but I was pleased anyway.

These were used as the input images for the Peony Squirrel images.

Thank you all for taking some time to look closer and for your faves, comments and invitations!
