And here I was already to make a comment about barging in! This may be the same as pulling the blinds at home. Time for some privacy.

Thank you Fred and Dora. Hebden does have people looking for an alternative lifestyle and barges are moored up and everyone just fits in. Exif detail made me release the date and think they were having a lay in! Whereas you Dora will be running around Costa Rica! TongueTongue

Well I have to admit Malc you thought of that not me so thank you! WinkWink I have only had one coffee yet... Can't believe fourteen years ago! What were we all doing 31.12.2007 at 12.50pm? Well I know what I was doing!

Great capture, love that tiny figure in the background and the lovely fresh white on the barge leading the eye to the little round window.

Nicely framed mono Kath, a lot of fun to be had on boats. we used to have one ourselves!
We live quite close to Yarmouth marina and often wander around looking at all the exotic vessels moored up there. I think you would need a five or six figure sum to fill the tank on some of them!

Definitely a viable and natural lifestyle, Kath, there’s a community in Scotland where some people live in converted giant empty wooden whisky barrels, and they look a wonderful dwelling (Link below). Triple glazed and with a wood-stove. No doubt similar eco-friendly dwellings worldwide. This is a very atmospheric image, love the round ‘hobbit’ window 👌

The Boho lifestyle, and there are a lot of folks doing this type of thing.......not me though, too cramped and I like plenty of space🤣!!!! Lovely image Kath, with loads of atmosphere - I can almost smell that smoke!

Have a fab weekend.

Thank you Pavan, Dave, Ivor, Sandy and Angela for your comments and Dave for your award. That life of living as Eco friendly as possible has lost that label of being slightly weird. Now people are waking up to the fact we are all responsible. Maybe due to the fact which everyone can see with their own eyes. I'd live in one of those houses Dave! I do feel I still have enough Boho in me!

I often had a fantasy about living on a boat until I stayed on a barge in Bristol for a few nights.
I still have the bruises on my head !!!
It was fun though and I love the photos Kath

Thank you all for your time in commenting and John and Glenn for your awards. All much appreciated.

The barges vary greatly in luxury levels and it sounds a lovely idea but I need something more solid as a main dwelling Tony!

Yes John that canalside has seen an awful lot in its time including stone mills turned into luxury apartments. Still a very mixed walk but very scenic. I'll post a less glum image today!

Peace and tranquillity, Kath. Nothing but the sound of a clicking camera shutter.
