Eighteen Geese A Swimming

Whilst I was walking into town, I saw a few people leaning over the bridge looking at something.  Of course that stirred my interest. Has someone fallen in the water? Is there a yacht waiting to use the lock gates? Or was there some filming going on?

Sadly in a way it was none of those, but something just as interesting to see; a pair of Canada geese with their young were wanting to swim a bit further up the canal, but they were being prevented by the locked gates.

As I had some errands to run, I didn't stay to see how they managed to continue with their journey, or whether they went back the way they came.

Shame It's Not Venice

Not a very productive day photographically speaking, as had my fisheye lens on, as I was planning to see what the Riviera would be like.

But it's been a fairly overcast day. Although the sun did come out at 5.30, so it was nice to ride home in the sunshine.

So here's a shot of the canal lock gates near where I work, with two boats waiting for the water to rise.
