More canal

I went back to the canal today as the sun came out and I wanted to make the most of it.
I'm trying to increase my steps and managed just under 8 miles today - my furthest yet but I made a rookie mistake by wearing different boots and have a few blisters now so I won't be going far tomorrow.
I think the pink algae is catkin pollen sitting on top of the green algae but I like how it adds some interesting colour here. I watched a couple of ducks nibbling away at the surface so I think it must be tasty for them.

Congratulations on 8 miles! That's awesome! Very cool photo. Love seeing the canal. Do folks "want" to live on the canal??

I enjoy seeing canals where people live, your pic shows a beautiful sky.
8 miles how many steps would that be?

Hey well done with 8 miles. That’s about 20,000 steps. Love this shot. You seem to quite high up when you took it.

Love canals and locks make such great subjects, and for this you were right to devote such a large part of the composition to the sky.

Great step counting! ...and wonderful capture of the flight of locks. This is so quintessentially classic Industrial Revolution transport system architecture! Can you tell I like it - lots!

[John Falconer]

8 miles. That’s like nearly 13km. I don’t go that far by bus!!! :-)
Great shot too.

A super view of the canal - fav!

Well done on the eight miles. Now that Covid-19 cases have dropped, I need to walk more to prepare for trips onto the North York Moors in the summer.
