A golden setting sun through trees on the horizon outlines the canal bridge in the distance. A wisp of high cottonwool high cloud set against a light blue sky is reflected in the waters of the canal. A bright green towpath and trees edge the frame.

Water is dripping from the top gate of a lock. The bricks and wood are wet. Blue sky and bright sunlight bathe the lockgate and a lone flower.
Another free Canal water feature....!

A grassy offside canal bank. The cut is ruffled by a stiff breeze. A blue sky lightens to white.
A slightly pixelated zoom into the sunlit grassy field shows two Moorhens scuttling away from the camera.
Evening cruise.
2 x Moorhens!

An old and weathered red brick bridge straddles a broad canal. In the distance, through the bridge, a patch of reeds brightened gold by the sun can be seen next to the gates of a canal lock. The edge of a narrowboat is glimpsed on the left side of the view
Happy Friday!
A lovely spot to moor up.

A narrow canal and cobbled towpath with guardrail over the waters of another canal. The bluesky and clouds are reflected in the wave dappled waters.
Who'd have thought?
Smethwick in Brum.
A really cool place on the cut.
An aqueduct over another canal!
Old Main Line, Engine Arm of Birmingham Canal Navigations over the New Main Line
What a fantastic spot!

Bright gold daffodils in a plant trough on the roof of a narrowboat. A bright silver roof vent reflects the daffs, welcome colour on a grey day.

A trough of Spring bulbs, mostly yellow daffs. In the foreground is one of the solar panels used to provide power to the narrowbaot
Power and petals....
Fresh Green and sun bright Yellow daffodils.
Provision of power, from the Sun, solar panels are a dark geometric contrast.
A "rooftop" garden on a narrowboat.

A trough of Spring bulbs about to bloom; the trough is on the roof of a narrowboat, you can see an air vent, a power cable and some solar panels also on the roof.

The Galton Bridge in Smethwick, England, carrying a road 70ft over the BCN New Main Line Canal. Extraordinary iron bridge designed by Thomas Telford and cast at Horseley Ironworks, in Tipton, England.
Extraordinary Galton Bridge!
When built, it was the world's longest single-span cast-iron bridge (151 ft/46m).
Amazing AND Beautiful, carrying a road over the Birmingham Canal Navigations New Main Line.

Highway to the Sun?
No longer.
Pedestrians and bikes only.
Amazing structure.

A road, apparently unused. Understated but still ornate iron balustrading topped with black metal lamps Concrete or brick piers indicate this is probably a bridge? There are bollards to stop road traffic entering the roadway.
Record breaking (in its time) road to nowhere....

Thro the porthole window of a Narrowboat, a calmer sky, some some blue, some remaing clouds, reflected in the calm waters of the cut.
Peace and calm at last

This brick arch bridge (number 33) frames the trees reflection in the distance. The dappled sunshine through winter trees lights up the bricks. Blue sky is reflected in the calm still water of the canal.
So many #beautifulbridges on the canal
Brilliant brick arches that are so much more elegant, pleasing to the eye than modern harsh straight line concrete.

The lockgate in the background stands dark and its overflow is middle left, you can see the rush of the water from the next pound rushing into this level, which in turn has an overflow in the foreground glittering in the sunshine
As its raining (again) today...
A pic of locks and overflows in the Winter sunshine
