My one rule of visiting #museums is 'Always do the dressing up' ... if there is a dressing up section.

If there is no dressing up to try on, then always do the comedy cardboard cut-outs.

A propos of nothing but enjoying our visit to the National Waterways Museum over #Christmas...

Two men put their faces through a wooden cut-out painted scene of a two cartoon people on a red narrowboat. The men are pulling slightly comical faces. The cutout man on the left has brown hair and is wearing a cartoon blue jacket with white collar and white trim chest pockets. The female cutout on the right has bright yellow blonde hair and wears a pink top with white v neck trim. They appear to be on the front of a red barge with some cartoon duck and swans painted on the water in the foreground

Barge was being towed from Alaska to Seattle " The Heiltsuk Nation says the listing barge appears to be "floating quite a bit better" with the containers removed. (per @TheCanadianPress #Canada #Barge #AlaskaProblems

A towboat named City of Cassville is pushing at least 6 barges up the Mississippi River at Quincy, Illinois. Another smaller towboat is in the foreground dealing with some barges tied up on the east bank of the river. In the background are other barges tied up along the western bank of the river.

I wouldn't want to live on a boat, but I kinda get the beauty of it. These are snapped at Coal Drops Yard, London, a spot that has really sprung back to life the past few years, albeit not quite the same walk of life as its previous one. It's splendid how those old structures can be repurposed, and so keep telling their story, instead of just being razed and replaced, along with a slice of history.

I went to a horse show.

They had shire horses done up like the horses that used to tow boats from the canal towpaths.

A horse of 800 kg could pull 100× its weight, because the load floats relatively friction free on water. These big horses were for fully loaded, massive barges.

The photo shows a woman in traditional attire leading a shire horse. Its tack has bobbins so the rope would roll without rubbing the skin off the horse.
