Canals

I spotted this tiny, simple plaque on the towpath during today’s walk along a small stretch of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, so I looked it up. It turns out that Ron Hough was a well-regarded painter of canal boats and, although he was born in Birmingham, he spent most of his life in Braunston, Northamptonshire. http://nurser.co.uk/decoration/ron-hough/ron-hough-obituary-hnbc.html

I think the plaque looks even more poignant with the. fallen sycamore "spinning jenny's" and moss

Very nice composition with beautiful colors and textures. A touching memento for Mr. Hough.

I guess he was a fisherman too. Nice find.
