A view of Earlswood Lakes from the bank, looking out over derelict concrete supporting piers that would have supported a jetty or some similar structure in the distant past. A small watermark in the bottom-left corner reads "Photo by Evan Grant".
A blue and black narrowboat named "Eastern Rosella" cruises down a calm stretch of the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. The boat's reflection ripples in the dark water, a dirt towpath runs along the right bank, and the canal is lined on both sides with bare spring trees. In the background, a red brick house is visible behind the tress under an overcast sky.

A three-panel vertical collage capturing scenes from a walk along the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. Left panel: A blue and black narrowboat named "Eastern Rosella" approaching down a straight stretch of canal framed by a canopy of budding spring trees. Middle panel: A close-up of a Canada Goose standing on the muddy canal bank, looking directly at the camera. Right panel: A tranquil view across the canal to Dickens Heath. From the far towpath, twin staircases frame an attractive ornamental waterfall which cascades down blue-tiled steps. The still canal waters reflect the surrounding brick buildings and village architecture. A small watermark bottom-centre reads "Photo by Evan Grant".
A wide view of Terry’s Pool at Earlswood Lakes on a bright, overcast spring day. In the foreground, dark, leafless tree branches reach across the top and left side of the frame, acting as a natural border. The water shows gentle ripples across its surface, reflecting the silver and white tones of the cloudy sky. In the background, a dense line of trees and distant green fields sit under a vast cloudscape. A small watermark in the bottom-left corner reads "Photo by Viv Dobson".
