Photographed today on the Leeds-Liverpool canal near the town of Brierfield in North-West England. This boat (and many others) were immobilised by the ice on the frozen canal following a week of very cold weather. Photographed with a Sony RX100 camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

MS Saga Ruby was a cruise ship that was last operated by Saga Cruises. She was originally built as the combined ocean liner / cruise ship Vistafjord in 1973 by Swan Hunter Ship-builders in the United Kingdom for the Norwegian America Line. In 1983 she was sold to Cunard Line, retaining her original name until 1999 when she was renamed Caronia. In 2004 she was sold to Saga and sailed as Saga Ruby until sold in 2014 for use as a floating hotel and renamed Oasia. However, this plan never came to fruition. Her owners went bankrupt and in April 2017 she arrived at the Alang ship-breaking yard in India for dismantlement. (Wikipedia (edited)).

The locks on the Leeds-Liverpool canal at Barrowford in Pendle district, North-West England, photographed with a Nikon D300s camera and my new 17-55mm wide-angle lens. I forgot to set the aperture correctly for a greater depth-of-field (I had it set at f2.8 instead of a smaller value) but the background is still reasonably in-focus. The angle of view is equivalent to approx. 25mm on a full-frame camera.

A former tug-boat on the Leeds-Liverpool canal at Skipton, Yorkshire, in the North-West of England. This boat is now used to supply "essentials" (tea, coffee and ice cream in Summer) to tourists and canal-boat users. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2 software.

One from the archives....a "York Boat" river cruiser, one of many which sail along the river Ouse through the city and outskirts of York throughout most of the year. Photographed back in 2005 with one of my first (low resolution) digital cameras, an Olympus AZ-1 and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

One of the Ferry fleet, "Glad Tidings", which runs between the coastal town of Seahouses and the nearby Farne Islands. The islands are home to many species of birds and thousands of Grey Seals (and they are the former home of at least 3 Saints). The Islands are also famous for their association with Grace Darling (see 1st link below) who, with her lighthouse-keeper father William, saved the lives of 9 people in 1830 when the ship "Forfarshire" went aground and split apart on nearby rocks during a violent storm. Despite weather which was too severe for the Seahouses lifeboat to be launched, Grace and her father rowed to the wreck in a small boat and managed to save the survivors. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Darling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farne_islands

Could this be where "The Doctor" spends his time between trips through space and time? Seen on the Leeds-Liverpool canal near Barrowford in Pendle district, North-West England, and photographed using a Nikon D90 camera. Processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

These people were apparently trying to work out how to open the lock-gates on the Leeds-Liverpool canal at Barrowford, North-West England (they eventually succeeded). Photographed with a Nikon D300s camera and a Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 lens. Processing was done with Nikon Capture NX2.

One of the "Viking" boats which race each other on the River Ouse in York during the annual Jorvik Festival. Photographed a few years ago with an Olympus AZ-1 (low resolution) compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2. More Information here: www.jorvik-viking-festival.co.uk

Photographed from the "M.V. Swan" pleasure-cruiser on Lake Windermere (the largest lake in England) during a trip from Bowness-on-Windermere to Ambleside.

One of the small, fast ferries that run between Seahouses and the Farne Islands. The Farne Islands are a group of islands off the coast of Northumberland, England. There are between 15 and 20 islands depending on the state of the tide (some are submerged at high-tide). The Farne Islands are associated with the story of Grace Darling and the wreck of the Forfarshire. Grace Darling was the daughter of Longstone lighthouse-keeper, William Darling and on September 7, 1838, at the age of 22 years, she and her father rescued nine people in a strong gale and thick fog from the wreck of the Forfarshire which had run aground on Harker rock. The story of the rescue attracted extraordinary attention throughout Britain and made Grace Darling a heroine who has gone down in British folklore. (Wikipedia).
