That is a great photo, Tony. Glad you enjoyed the walk - that is a lovely stretch of canal. We went walking up Stainland today, you can see most of the Northern Hemisphere from up there. And after all that walking in all that sun I am inclined to misquote your poet - Not only do the thirst seek a good pint of ale, a good pint of ale seeks the thirsty.

A great photo match for our theme! I enjoyed the slide show too. Next to being on a narrowboat, walking along a canal towpath is my favorite British pastime.

I hadn't heard of SmugMug before. It looks like an interesting site, but I don't know if I like them acquiring Flickr.

Great slide show! Also love that photo of you in the Marlon Brando jacket. You look like a 10-year-old nobody would want to mess with :-)
