Grand Union at Foxton in Leicestershire

Post by Mark »

This picture was taken late last year, again just above the locks.

I love that last shot, Sir. Simply idyllic.

Makes me want to ditch the river and pool tomorrow and go sit by the canal

Here's a longer shot AC. It's surprising just how beautiful some of our canals look.
