Light on the Canal

@blueberry1222 Thank you for your comment Krista, there are miles of footpaths along the old canals in the UK open to walkers and cyclist, you seldom see them not used:)

[Peter]

@louannwarren Thank you for both your comment and Fav, I tend to walk them on a regular basis, I also used to cycle along them but unfortunately I damaged my left knee last year and I'm waiting to have it replaced:)

@suesouthwood Thank you Sue your comments are always appreciated, this stretch is from Cromwell Bottom looking towards Park Wood Elland:)

This has a very wintery feel to it. Nice leading lines.

@pcoulson Thanks Peter, I may take you up on that when I get back to doing family history again. I think my relative worked on the Barnsley Canal and also on the Calder Canal. He moved about a bit. There must be gypsy in us somewhere ha ha. We all seem to move a lot.
