While the #Britsh #canals have much to recommend them, when you have the open spaces of the #Norfolk #Broads on your #doorstep it's hard to say which are best.

I like to think I can balance the various differences fairly as we are lucky enough to have a small #canal #workers #cottage that fronts the #Bridgewater #Canal at #PrestonBrook where we plan to keep our #canoe after our house move.

Apologies to anyone wondering about the boat trip. No internet last night, lock problems today. Details blogged later. #BoatsThatToot #Boating #canals

When the bells of the bicycles fall silent, the wakes in the canals slow to but a ripple, and even the trains have completed their "last ride". Captured in Amsterdam one summer's night, "After Laatste Rit".

On day one of the boat trip Gareth and I took some video footage. I finally edited it, badly. It's here:

Join us on a gentle night of summer rain as we listen to the rooks and explore the beauties and ambiguities of liminal places.
A night of crow song, poetry, and a guided tour by Luke Sherlock to the ruins of a church under wide East Anglian skies.

The bright golden yellow of flag (yellow iris) partially unfolded in the rain. Water drops gather in silver globes down its broad sword like leaves. The canal beside is cocoa brown.

“People, we’re only people / There’s not much anyone can do, really do, about that / But it hasn’t stopped us yet.”

People-watching, Copenhagen-style.

Bridge number 382 is a special kind of bridge called a bascule bridge. It was built in 1️⃣9️⃣3️⃣5️⃣ and designed by P.L. Kramer in the Amsterdam School style. The decorations were made by Kramer, Jaap Kaas, and Hildo Krop. ⚒️

At the end of the quay wall, you can see a fun sculpture of two sea lions playing with a ball. It’s a nice detail that makes the bridge unique. 🦭🦭⚽️

This bridge is important because of its creative design and beautiful stone carvings. It shows the special style of Amsterdam architecture from the 1930s. 🏛️

#FotoVorschlag: Gehört das dort hin? //Does this belong here? (thanks @meoralis !) Quickly before the day is over. I just got home and would like to join in. Here is something you also encounter when you are photographing reflections in the canals of The Hague.

A bicycle lies in the water of a canal. It has been there for a long time and there is moss etc. around the wheel. You can see the wheel on the left and diagonally to the right above a part of the rest of the bicycle. Around it a light brown sandy ground and sunlight that shines on the wheel and the bottom under water.

I hope that #LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver renames the #ErieSeaWolves to something having to do with the #ErieCanal. I think the canal is cool. #canals #baseball

(This has been an absurd combination of hashtags.)

The houseboat” Rival” is moored on the Amstel River near “De Omval”. It’s a former inland cargo ship, about 24 meters long, now used as a houseboat. ⚓️ 🛥️

In the background are two towers in the Amstelkwartier, a modern neighborhood on the east bank of the Amstel. These residential high-rises stand behind Park Somerlust, a green riverside park that also has a historic water tower from 1️⃣9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣, once part of the old Zuidergasfabriek. 🌇🌳🌳
