Narrowboat Images – Pictures Of Canals and British Waterways.

It has been a while since I last posted some images on this site. I must really try and get out this weekend to capture some autumn images before all the leaves have blown away.

A couple of pictures here captured between Whilton and Weedon on the Grand Union Canal a couple weeks ago.

Busy Lizzie moored on private moorings near Whilton.

I was unable to recall the name of the narrowboat in the picture below, and the angle of the original photograph is such that the name can’t be read. If anyone knows the name of this colourful character please leave a comment below.

P.S. This post title so named for Granny Buttons.

Aside from Granny Buttons I confess to being a regular reader of the following blogs:
Halfie, Lazy Days, Derwent6, Balmaha, Piston Broke, Oakfield, Sanity, and No Problem. There are of course numerous other narrowboat blogs which I dip in and out of on a fairly frequent basis.

All of this blog following seems to help with the waiting until such time that I can move onto the canal system with my own narrowboat and collect images from all over the network and from a different angle other than viewed from the towpath.

Narrowboat Classix

Colin — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 19:30:30 +0000

Narrowboat Classix passing through Foxton. Having negotiated the rise up the Foxton staircase, narrowboat Classix passes ‘Oomaroo’, ‘Celia’, and a canal time hire boat on its way towards Crick.

This image taken from under bridge 60 gave a problem by constantly overexposing the sky. After several attempts and altering the exposure significantly, I eventually ended up with a reasonable shot with which to work from.

Hot off the press. This image is a digitally painted print from today’s (Saturday 13th June) event at Stoke Bruerne. A gathering at the ‘Friends of the Canal Museum’s Open Weekend Stoke Bruerne’. Beautiful weather and a large contingent of historical narrowboats.

A beautiful sunny day in May. Not a single cloud in the sky. The stillness of the water in the canal able to reflect the lock gates.
