Smoke gets in your eyes.

I haven't much time today so another canal scene from yesterday I'm afraid.
Loved the smoke rising from the canal barge here.

Will do my best to catch up commenting later.

Three good things:
1. Out for fish & chips with other in-laws tonight.
2. I have been test driving a car this morning.... now I am dithering!!!
3. Loving my new book.

[Sean O'Neill]

Super reflections Pat. A new car, how exciting!!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Beautiful light, superb reflections and a lovely autumnal feel to this shot. (btw what's the book?)

[Hazel]

Lovely scene!

[Padlock]

Great shot love the canals. Is this the mini u r dithering over??

[Pat Knowles]

@padlock Yes I have been for a test drive today but am very dithery!!

[Pat Knowles]

@tishpics The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Recommended her on 365 by @jantan Patricia.

[Pat Knowles]

@seanoneill Thanks Sean but no new car yet!!!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Nice scene Pat --I do love canals * the barges , they are always so interesting .So you have been test driving today --exciting times !! (but I can understand the dithering only too well !!)

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl The trouble is I love the car I have but it's just useless in the snow & ice so curse it every winter...amazing how much money cars drop in value...should I just run mine into the ground or change it now when relatively young? Harry won't say so all my decision!

[Scott]

Wow... that water is like glass! Nicely composed image! Good luck with the car analysis ;-)

[Padlock]

@happypat get then to let you have it for at least 24 hours so you can go our for the day and at least use it.

[Pat Knowles]

@padlock They have just suggested that padlock ....can have it for a day to see if we like it. Of course then you are under more obligation!! Thank you for your interest btw!

[Pete]

There's always something restful about canals - nice shot

[Padlock]

@happypat now Pat of course you are not. If you don't like it don't have it. See you mention snow and ice would have thought the mini 4x4 would have been good for that with winter tyres.

[Pat Knowles]

@padlock That's what I am looking at Padlock...Mini countryman...it is very nice !!

[Judith Johnson]

Sparkling reflections and super composition.

Another beautiful scene, along the canal. The trouble with having a new car it feels like learning to drive again. I am looking out for a good book if you have time perhaps you could let me know the book you are reading please

[Pat Knowles]
