The old and the new

This is a stretch of the Birmingham Fazeley canal in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. It looks so peaceful now but I would have liked to have seen it in Victorian times when it was a hive of activity bringing materials to the many factories in the area.

Great shot of one of our canals in the gloomy weather. I agree though, the canals made our city a world leader for a while. Now they are doing a great job in a very different way.

Great shot. So much to look at

Lovely shot and lovely reflections on the still waters of the canal. Looks so quiet now.

Nice capture. interesting structures across the water which I don't completely understand how they work.

I like this shot a lot. Interesting modern architecture along the historic canal, and some nice reflections in the canal too - fav!

Imagine the the hustle and bustle when it was a working waterway.
