May 11 2004:
Summer Pastime

We are blessed with the Basingstoke Canal as well as the River Wey here around Woking, both waterways being popular with boaters. I caught this narrowboat on the Wey along by the meadows just north of Ripley; a real summer scene.

Beautiful image. And thank you for the PS info - that aspect of the process is still largely a mystery to me.

Seems like a wonderful place to me.

I love canal barges,it's time I photographed some, the Leeds - Liverpool canal is quite close to me so it won't be difficult.
