On the River Wensum at Norwich

On the River Wensum at Norwich
So here I am on the Foundry Bridge at the foot of Prince of Wales Road in Norwich, eh, the one that crosses to Thorpe Road and the train station, and I'm thinking I'll get some photos of boats passing under the bridge. And here comes a houseboat, with a girl in the front hatch looking straight ahead, rapt in the scenery! What an opportunity! So as the boat approaches I line up the shot, but when the boat passes underneath me I don't see the top of her head but her looking back up at me. So I take that shot -- it's not like I was gonna get 'em to come back, eh, so I could get the other shot.

Anyway, I hope someone that observant has taken up photography by now.

Thanks, Sarah. I suppose I should check if my passport's still valid. I think I have a couple of years left. More importantly I've got £10 or so on my Oyster card that I don't want Transport for London to inherit.

John this is a delightful image. The young girl beautifully framed by the hatch and that wonderful smile as she looks up ireally makes the shot. Nicely timed and captured
