Blue Skies and Waters

Taken a little while back on a walk along the Sharpness Canal at Slimbridge, more famous for the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust. I had stopped to admire these craft and wondered how much these cost and could I afford one.

It was a simple answer NO, and I get easily seasick even on inland water. I'll stick to Shanks's Pony and if you don't know that phrase you can Google it.

Just gorgeous. Was hoping if I stared at it long enough I would magically teleport there. Unfortunately I'm still here at the office so I'll fav it instead.

Beautiful colours. I get seasick too. I like to eat (and keep it) too much. Terra firma for me too.

I know this may sound silly, but you've captured the water so that it looks so liquid, like it might spill out of the edges of the photograph. Wonderful bright colors!
