A colour photograph in landscape format. It shows a canal side scene on a rainy day. The hefty canal wall to the left contrasts with the metal bridge over the canal and the modern buildings on the other side of the canal.

Camden Lock, London 2023
Hello! Our big cities are awash with buildings old and new huddled together, so much that it becomes the norm. Here is a photograph of modern buildings in 2023 and #Camden Lock (built in the early 1800s).

"When #refineries, #fuel depots, or storage facilities burn or rupture, #petroleum products, toxic residues, & #firefighting #chemicals can seep into #soil, drain into #rivers & #canals, & eventually contaminate #groundwater. The result is not just less #water, but dirtier & more dangerous water."

Very early morning black and white photo of a very dark and foggy canal across the frame. A narrowboat can just be seen under some trees on the far left side. Spooky trees are reflecting in the water.

Some mornings are just like this.

New video. I head back to Norbury Junction on the Shroppie. youtu.be/MeBtuunIWbo #UKCanals #narrowboats #canals

Looking towards the Thames between the lock gates and Dock Road bridge. Boats are moored at the end of the canal. The south bank of the Thames is to the right.

A view from the point, where the canal joins the river. Down river the chimney of the London Museum of Water & Steam is just visible. Across theriver is Kew. Daffodils illuminate the canal bank.

Looking down the river Thames from the end of the Grand Union Canal. A team of rowers are rowing upstream near the bank of the river at Kew where trees are illuminated by the sun. Across the river on the left are the trees of Brentford Ait in their autumn colours and behind them the chimney of the London Museum of Water & Steam.

Looking back at the Grand Union Canal from the Thames south bank. The canal mouth is immediately opposite, just left of centre of the photo. A recent sculpture called Liquidity is on a promontory to its right and a bit further right three boats are moored at Ferry Wharf. A man is sitting on the wall, left, looking at his phone.

A first view of Thames lock as the tow path crosses over to the right bank. On the right a well established housing comblex with its own marina. On the left a vast new complex takes shape.

As we approach the lock, Johnson's Island, created by a bend in the River Brent, is on the left. A boat with a red strip is moored against the island. The towpath is below us on the right with the lock in the distance.

A close-up of the double lock. The lock house is on the right. Dock Road crosses the canal at the end of the lock. Behind the lock a vast new residential complex is being constructed.

The view looking back up the canal from the bridge on Dock Road with Thames lock in the foreground. On the right is another island formed by the Brent and used for boat repairs. In the background are recent housing units.

Making our way towards the Thames
Thames Lock is the final lock before we reach the Thames. I don't expect accolades for these four photos but I felt they should be included for completeness.

Klassiek Amsterdams grachtenshot met fietsen

This is why people fall in love with Amsterdam. One sunny afternoon in March and the whole city feels like a movie set. Bikes parked at the canal, boats rocking slowly, golden light on the canal houses. No filter needed. Not a bad place to live 🚲 #Amsterdam #Canals #VisitAmsterdam

The river Brent cascades from the canal around Johnson's Island.

To the left of the previous photo, taken from a footbridge, a large corrugated iron shed dominates the horizon

Makeshift shelters protect boats being worked on.

Looking back to the cascade and footbridge, behind which the canal passes.

Below Brentford Bridge the river diverges from the canal for one last time, creating an island where various boatyards operate.
