Icy canal

Probably better on large view if you have a moment. Thank you. :-)

This is a stretch of the Grand Union Canal at Marsworth. According to my resident canal expert (Lester) , the breaks were probably caused by a narrowboat navigating the waterway; there's a discernible line of finer shards of ice which suggests the path of a boat. Good luck to them in this cold because you have to stand outside to steer but at least nbs are toasty-warm inside.

There's a detail shot of the ice here if you'd like to have a look-see : http://365project.org/dulciknit/on-the-day-extr/2013-01-23

Super capture,Alison!! The boats have been breaking up the ice on the canal,here,so the ducks are able to swim about.

[Jean Tookey]

Beautiful. If the ice was thicker it would be a great place for skating.

[Jen Hudson]

Nice pov, love the curve of the canal, really makes your eyes follow round the scene. Yes wouldn't want to be driving that barge!
