One benefit to low sun for half a day is loads of pretty shadows.

The image depicts an old-style travel poster featuring Venetian gondolas with decorative prows on a canal in Venice. The title "VENEZIA" is prominently displayed at the bottom of the poster, which translates to "Venice." The design includes muted pink and orange hues for the watercolor background, contrasting with bold colors like red, yellow, green, blue, white, and black used for the gondolas' prows. There are also elements such as a compass rose in the top left corner, an official-looking seal on the bottom center labeled "ENIT," indicating it was printed by ENIT (Ente Nazionale Touristico Italiano) of Italy during that time period. The poster is framed within a border with color swatches and text at its edges for scale comparison purposes. This design suggests a nostalgic representation of Venice, aiming to attract tourists through the beauty of Venetian gondolas and waterways depicted in the artwork.

Day 7 of the #30DayMapChallenge is Accessibility. A long-held belief of mine was that #canals in the UK are greatly under-utilised and we should move more this way instead of by road.

Plotting the UKs canals from the Canal and River Trust shows this is perhaps due to growing up in the Midlands where they are most prevalent. Scotland or the South are largely inaccessible via canal.

Historically this makes sense. Plotting population centres over 200,000 we see the connections run between industrial centres and a stretch down to London.

Used Shapely to estimate the longest canal to be the Grand Union at 210.7km (wikipedia says 220km).
