Boat detail and bend

The front of a narrowboat seems an awfully long way from the engine and steering gear at its rear, especially when it is being steered into a bend.

I took this shot because I especially loved the shape of the metal "chock" with the rope running through it.

Love this looks great in B&W must be good fun?

It must be so relaxing gliding along in the narrow boat :)

I like the POV and there is a real story in this picture.

DOF is awesome, love the B&W

Well that certainly is a beautiful shot Helen... way to make something so very interesting out of 'nothing' (it's not 'nothing' of course, but you know what I mean)!

@kerosene Know exactly what you mean. Some of the most interesting and engaging shots I see on this site are of "nothing" really. That's such an intriguing phenomenon in itself.

Fantastic shot! Terrific pov and dof! :-)
