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.

(273/365) iPhone5 image taken as I was walking up Blennerville sea canal towards Tralee which is the capital of County Kerry. In 1828 funding was sought for a canal to link the town to the sea at Blennerville. The canal, only about 2 km long, opened in 1846 & ships up to 300 tonnes used to navigate the canal until it silted up & was closed in the 1930s when a deep-water quay was built up the coast at Fenit.
Today the towpath is popular with walkers & bird watchers. You can read about the history of the canal here www.focuskerry.com/james/canal.html Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
Taken from a bridge over the canal at Littleborough. A nice February day for a walk & some photography!
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.
The north of Lancashire, where we have a holiday home, has some beautiful countryside and tends to be off the beaten track. The Lancaster Canal, which dates from the mid-1790s, runs through it. Originally, it was intended to run from Kendal down to Westhougton, connecting with the Yorkshire coalfields and providing coal to the city of Lancaster. But it was never completed. These days it runs from Tewitfield near Carnforth, where it is blocked by a road, down to Preston, and is used only for leisure purposes. This picture was taken near the end of the canal at Tewitfield.
