Saltaire 22 March 2012


The Two Shires canal boat coming through Hirst Lock.


A newcomer on the canal today, a crested duck.
Crested ducks have a wonderful regal air about them. There are reasonably good layers but mostly kept for pets. Crested ducks have been around for a long time and feature in art dating back over 2,000 years.


One sees quite a diverse sense of fashion on visitors to the canal, like this very tall lady.


Casual or a little more dressed up, they all like to stop for an ice-cream.
