Grand Union Canal

This is the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal. It terminates 50 yards or so from where I took this shot. This is a 20 minute walk from home and I often pass here on the way to do some food shopping at M & S :-) Don't normally take my camera but always have my phone. The weather was good on this day so thought it was worth taking a photo :-)

The Aylesbury Arm was opened in 1814 and the canal rises 94 feet 8 inches from Marsworth to Aylesbury. There are 16 narrow locks that only allow one narrowboat at a time. This was necessary to save precious water.

As there is a bridge in my photo I have, for "Sight & Sound", chosen "Love Can Build A Bridge by The Judds.

Rest in Peace, Naomi.

De très beaux reflets sur le canal et par ce beau temps la lumière illumine les couleur! Merci Roger et pour la chanson des Judds, ces deux femmes que je ne connaissais pas "Love can build a bridge". Cela doit être un tube de la musique country et bien des gens doivent pleurer la disparition de Naomi.
have a great week my friend! fondly yours
