I would love to have lived in that picturesque house at Hatton Bottom, Lock 26. Obviously lunchtime and you have even managed to capture cyclist but no boats. Oh well, suns shining, can’t have everything!
It looks as if the lock gates at Lock 27 have been recently refurbished and one doesn’t often see the `overflow` waterfall. I have commented in the past on those very narrow locks in many of your pictures but Lock 28 is more than double the size, large enough to take two boats, side by side. Boats! Not so colourful as normal but at least boats!
I had to smile on seeing the way in which the gent in the `cowboy` hat is standing there, almost preening, having done his bit and calling out to his `wife` to get a move on. A picture so full of interest.
As usual you picked a good spot to take your picture, Lock 29-Lock 30, taking in the roofs of houses on the higher ground and in the far background what may be the clock tower of a church or town hall.
I’ve seen far uglier pictures than the Ugly Bridge 52. [I must find out the reason for such a name] At least I know it is nothing to do with the graffiti sprayed on by aerosols!
What an interesting and pleasant picture, the two locks almost at right angles Always nice to see people taking advantage of the canal sides and having a lovely walk with their dogs along the daffodil lined, well kept tow path.
Fantastic picture of those close [very] flight of locks 37 – 42 and as far as I can make out at least 28 people enjoying this wonderfully interesting location. One can only stand back and admire the hundreds of men that not only built the canals but also the locks and bridges.
Wow! What’s all this then?! A panoramic picture! looks superb. Never like the use of initials, unless I’m one of the fortunate ones who knows what the abbreviation means.
The weather was certainly kind to you to enable you cheer everyone with your bright pictures of the canal running through the countryside. Not only that but bring to those sitting at home such interesting `fixtures and fittings`! The one looking down the flight from Lock 41 to Warwick Castle, standing proud in the distance is really something. Again nice weather, nice location, boats, locks and water will always attract people.
Intense action at Lock 42….. `I sure am concentrating`!
The Hatton Locks Cafe looks like a wonderful spot to moor up for a cuppa and cakes!
what a smashing picture to end up with! Everybody including the child looking in one direction, down into the lock.That was an interesting name for a boat – JACARANDA and what a nice old lock keeper’s cottage with even an old hand cart parked alongside.
Thanks a lot Geoff, thoroughly enjoyed walking along with you again and taking in these fascinating and otherwise unobtainable scenes.
What’s that you say `finished at last!
