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.

Happy Fence Friday. I now have three (count 'em -- three) photos of the River Wensum posted, so I have started an album: www.ipernity.com/doc/fitzgerald/album/1305276 There may be a fourth soon. I'm so excited.
