Winter Cruising

Saturday 20th February 2010

I just love cruising the canals, I was going to say cruising the canals in winter, but then realised I love it at any time of the year!!

But in the winter it's so different; the light quality for photographs is outstanding, the frost and snow making photography almost obsessive.  Moorings are easy to find and are usually quiet and it's rare even to see another boat on the move. Wrapped up warm on the back deck, hopefully with some sun on your back, taking in the sights and sounds around you, you could be the only people on the planet!  Good days.

I took these pictures today at 16:30 about 45 minutes before sunset, the light in the trees was incredible, rather different from the sunset yesterday
