Boats on the canal (8)

Another tethered boat, this time at Cuckoo's Wharf, but this one seems to be listing a bit!

Under the Spaghetti

I took some photos yesterday underneath the Gravelly Hill Interchange a.k.a. Spaghetti Junction. Of course the Tame Valley Canal terminates there at Salford Junction though i didn't venture that far. Most of the photos are of concrete flyovers but there are a few of the canal in this photo set.

Photoed on the Birmingham & Fazeley on Saturday. The owner seems to be out.

Boats on the canal (6)

Birmingham & Fazeley again, just before Salford Junction. I managed to get this photo of a boat juxtapositioned against the stark industrial landscape in that part of Nechells (or Erdington, its on the boundary). Old and new-ish. Of course ideally we'd want a photo of a canal boat and a wind turbine.

Boats on the canal (5)

As i've already said seeing boats on the Tame Valley Canal seems fairly rare, this was the first one i ever saw on there in fact, taken with my camera phone so the picture isn't that good!
