A Narrow boat

Posted by Michael Fresh (Chester, United Kingdom) on 7 August 2011 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Some people were saying that there wasn't much room on the boat..... :0

My book entitled, Looe in Cornwall a photographic tour, is on sale now.

Was the boat still floating?

@CElliottUK: Only just.... there was a scraping noise along the bottom.

I think those people would be correct! We know now why you were outside the boat taking the previous shots!

What funny scene and expressions you've caught Mike! From your point of view, the boat does look a little narrow!:-) Cheers!

Plenty room in there for the weight conscious!
Beautiful crystal clear processing on it.

Wow! narrow is the word! This is a great capture. The view from the windows, the interest of the passengers - great capture, Michael. So sharp and colors are wonderful. Michael - is this canal boat system an actual transit for locals to and from work? or just a tourist attraction? Jut curious. Would be nice to travel to and from work this way! Beats Phoenix traffic!

@Laurie: Hi Laurie, no they are only used as a tourist attraction.

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States

By golly, they were right! ;-) I like the colors reflected in the shiny woodwork of the ceiling. Apart from being a bit narrow to fit the canal, the boat looks like it's well made.

@Steve Rice: And to think that some people actually live permanently on these narrow barges.

We used to say the same on the old airships, you know. And the flying-boats. And Ryanair.
