1. wow – there is no words for your beautiful work…well done!!

   1. Thank you 😀

2. Gorgeous photo. Is the aqueduct for cars or just for those on foot?

   1. As Becky says, it is for narrowboats and walkers. There is a tunnel at the far end. We were doing a circular walk at the time which took us across the aqueduct. More info and photos:

      1. I wondered about narrowboats. We would love to do a narrowboat tour one day and even looked into it the last time we were in UK but the costs were astronomical.

         1. I looked into it too many years ago when my children were young, but it was totally out of my reach even then.

         2. My parents did one a few years ago and when I checked with them the price had doubled since they had done it.

   2. Oh, and there is a rail viaduct behind it which you can see on the left of the image.

3. It’s for narrow boats! I have wonderful memories of navigating across this aqueduct and then into the tunnel on the other side 🙂

   1. It’s very high up! We avoided the tunnel and went onto the road at that point (we were obviously NOT in a boat or that would have been very tricky…) 😀

      1. Lol – a narrow boat on wheels would be hilarious! It is challenging enough manouvering a 70footer on water 😃

         1. Never been on one, though it is perhaps the one type of boat I could sail on without feeling ill. I do like walking along towpaths – nice and flat, usually.

         2. Try it – my Mum hates boats but she is happy on a narrow boat! It is rare to notice any movement – most common is in locks but you could always get out then and work the lock instead. The other times were when I went on a river in one, and then an occasion when the canal sprung a leak!!

         3. You make it sound soooo attractive. Not.

4. Brilliantly caught at this angle!

   1. We had good light that afternoon. Though I do recall it being cold!

      1. cold and good light often go together though don’t they. Not good for manipulating camera.

         1. True. Fingers do get a bit clumsy!

5. Great image, Jude!

   1. Thanks Sue. Late afternoon winter’s light!

6. I always wanted to ride this one! 😦 😦 And now Gilly’s gone missing? Will email her today. Know she was having some asthma issues and she’s always a busy bunny. 🙂 🙂

   1. She commented on a couple of my posts yesterday.

      1. Ah well… saw this too late 🙂 🙂

   2. Missing moi? I’m too big to lose!

      1. No, you’re not, sweetheart. 🙂 🙂 Got your email, thanks!

7. Great composition, and wonderful light and colours too.
   Best wishes, Pete. x

8. And all that with essentially two colors.

   1. A raw February day if memory serves me well.

9. wow

10. I love this pic Jude – great angle and stunning contrast and colour 🙂

    1. A colourless February day, but the sun was low enough to highlight those arches perfectly.

       1. You did real well capturing beauty on a colourless day 🙂

          1. Thank you!
