Urban Geese

Canada Geese , swimming along the Nottingham-Beeston Canal today.

The canal is an urban canal connecting the River Trent at Trent Bridge to The River Trent at Beeston Weir.

This section runs parallel to London Road

Good shot. I love walking the canals in your part of thee world

[Casablanca]

Sometimes I think canals are such an odd mix of scruffy graffiti and overgrown pathways through industrial areas and yet then there is the water and the nature that enjoys living on it.

A little flotilla of Canada geese! Nice capture and surprising to see it in colour lol

[Judith Johnson]

Canals were once a valuable means of transport, and are still much valued today, but in different ways. Wildlife, nature, leisure time etc.

[Kerry McCarthy]

I think if i was an urban goose, I would enjoy paddling along that canal!

[Mags]

They look happy enough. Very nice capture!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@casablanca casa it's a great stretch of water , it runs past the castle , the railway station , old wharfs , the crown courts and football grounds ... So much to see and lots of nature and wildlife 📷

[Phil Howcroft]

@philippar Philippa good shout , I did do a black and white version , but the foliage , bushes and water 💦🌊looked better in colour 📷

[Phil Howcroft]

@busylady Judith you are right , on some stretches of the canal it's hard to believe you are in city

[Phil Howcroft]

@beverley365 thanks Beverley it's a lovely walk we go to a coffee shop near the station to hang out with all the geeks and trendy folk too

[Phil Howcroft]

@mccarth1 I think you would Kerry 📷

[Pat Knowles]

Love the way our canals wind their way through towns….the industrial waterways they once were!

[Carole Sandford]

Nice capture.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Goodness, that looks quiet; do you get much traffic on the canal? I live near various stretches of the Grand Union; we have lots of holiday hires and also people who live on narrowboats either on permanent moorings or as itinerants.
Love the way the fence curves through the composition and the lines of the - corregated iron?
