A little further along the Brecon and Monmouth Canal. Walking for me but a relaxed pace on the boat. What a wonderful way to travel! #mobilephotography #nature #canal #wales #Brecon #photography #trees

A narrow boat has just passed under a stone bridge on the Brecon & Monmouth canal. There is an overhanging tree and the boat is reflected in the water. Taken while walking along the canal path

Continuing our "accidental" Canonbury based theme, here's "Canonbury Grove" by Elwin Hawthorne from 1932 along with his preparatory sketch & archive photo of the view. The large white/cream building is the Marquess Tavern, which is still there (photo courtesy of Street View). #ElwinHawthorne
