Onward!

John blazes a trail.

along the towpath

Broad Oak bridge just east of Odiham on the Basingstoke canal. The canal at this point is lined by wonderful Ash and Oak trees. There is wild land for the most part along the banks.

Time slows down on the towpath, where historic stone walls meet the gentle ripple of the canal.A peaceful summer afternoon along a the Rochdale canal towpath, featuring traditional stone cottages and a classic arched bridge.

Well staying local again, I visited the canal at dawn and again later at dusk. The sunrise was pretty colourless despite a favourable forecast but the textures were great in the sky and in the reflections in the still waters of the canal.

I took this on a narrow hump back bridge to get a bit of elevation to get a shot down the towpath and show the canal leading off into the distance. The shots later at sunrise were much more colourful.

I used a crop sensor for 640mm equivalent.

It felt good exploring a new path with a friend yesterday.

Taken from a bridge over the canal at Littleborough. A nice February day for a walk & some photography!

Not sure whether this is fly-tipping or work as usual.

Sometimes, canal towpaths travel through less leafy and attractive stretches. They do however hold the ghosts of former industry that grew up around the canals of the UK. I like these sometimes unloved places as they have an integrity about them.

Late afternoon along towpath at Hatton Locks Warwick

The Westway kisses the Grand Union Canal before swooping away. Two trunk routes from very different eras frame Erno Goldfinger’s brutalist masterpiece Trellick Tower. Trellick’s grade 2* listed status saved it from the flammable cladding used to “beautify” nearby Grenfell Tower with such tragic consequences.
