A Rush
A restful turn of the canal
Industry along one side of the canal
Power lines march in the distance
Wind power is starting to dot the landscape
Hmmm. Could power lines stunt the growth of trees?
Graffiti on a tree
Great light at sunset
Bryan caught shooting from the bow of an onion
One lock featured sculpture by the lock keeper
A helping hand
Flock of birdies watch boats pass through the lock More lock keeper art Are those trees looking at me? An overloaded party boat Bicycling on the classic canal shot A bridge at sunset
Terry shoots the boat at sunset Dr. Carter shoots his camera Some locks are mighty tall No matter how tall a lock boats still float at the top Some locks are hand cranked Tourists love the roar of a draining lock
There are double and even triple locks Bikers head down from the lock past Terry A nest in the tree Typical cleat to which a boat is tied in a lock Tough looking man hangs out on shore A crack in a wall that looks like a face
Kids play with a ballard Bikers head down hill toward a shooting Terry Passengers going downstream through a lock Lock gates leaking The lock keeper looks bored Neighboring fields slowly erode lower than the canal
Daughter distrusts mother's pretense of missing leg Children in playground observe boat passing Fit man power walks tow path Even in scenic canals, trash floats Some trees appear like stalks of broccoli Mass of branches attacks stone bridge
Man in hat fishes from shore Mass tangle of branches clouds canal Partly submerged log that boat must avoid Kids race on bicycles along the tow path Kids loiter and play under stone bridge Patio umbrella shades driver
Duck watches boats enter lock Crowds gather to watch boats traverse locks Parts of canal resemble American southwest Hungry car begs at foot of broccoli tree Nasty tangle of tree branches Gray-haired man observes boat's slow passage
New housing built close to canal's shore Tree heavily shadows house Box floats near shore Rider encourages horse that was freaked by boat Boat passes through bridge on cloudy day Wires and phantom plants on factory wall
Dog would rather play Ongoing repair of wake-damaged shore Area where cliff is held up with stone columns Photographer shoots the shore Sometimes driving a boat can be dull Lockeeper employs new-fangled radio controls
Some watch boat, others pose New housing being built at turn in canal Hiking on a cloudy, chilly day Still waters reflect trees Lest we forget, wooden arrow points the way home Men chat about important things on stone bridge
Some bridges are for railroad use Boat clings to shore under heavy rain Trip begins at Locaboat A lovely canal boat tied up outside Locaboat Pénichettes line up for rent at Locaboat The canal across from Locaboat
Trees roots bind the shore of Canal du Midi One of the occasional houses along the trip Lazy dog watches the boat float past The canal in late afternoon A boat exits a lock heading upstream A too-fast boat can damage the shore with its wake
Man ponders a pond Greetings from the outdoor luncheon crowd Bike path closed for repair In places, laundry graces the shore Man and dog stroll Another typical stone bridge
Canal passes over a small creek Vineyards just begin to bloom Easter holiday, one is seldom alone on the canal Home to Domaine Les Cascals wine Canal passes under a stone bridge Deck of the boat features doomed bicycles
Bicycles ride below mythic trees Captain Carter drives while lady-wife Isabel cooks Canal Bridge over l'Argent-Double. Canal Bridge over l'Argent-Double. Section of old tow path Detail of stone bridge underside
Old boat has given up the ways of the sea Typical of old constructs lining the shore Wine country in early spring
