A pleasant hour or so for lunch with Peter/Zipp (@sleepdozer57). A nice pint and walk along the canal. This swan was in a hurry to get somewhere...

This swan looks HUGE at this angle! I love it! I love the waves at the front of its body, and the "V" trail of ripples it leaves behind :-) Great photo!

Probably thought you were going to feed it, they don't mess about those swans!

I have like the idea of living on a boat on the canal since Andrew Fagan (a NZd musician) came home with stories of bring up his family on a boat on an English canal back in the 80s. I think they lived on a boat in NZd too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxWX2hWj1uM&feature=related
Like the composition with the swan.
