Cold Canal

[ffutures]

Continuing this week's theme, since it wasn't snowing today I went for a walk and happened to cross a footbridge over the canal, which for I think the first time in several years was partially frozen. Not particularly thick ice, but it wasn't something I expected.






Unfortunately I'd forgotten to take a camera with me so this is from my iPhone - if I'd had a camera with a decent optical zoom I would have included pictures of a coot that was wandering around on the ice looking very confused...

At first glance, I thought that top pic was a partially-flooded street.

I know what you mean. This bit of the canal, and some of the other parts in the centre of London, are unusual because there are buildings on both sides, usually it's more open. Most of the pictures I've put on line have been in the more open parts, because that's where the interesting plants and animals are.
