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 Holiday boaters stop to picnic for lunch 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
