Photographer’s Note
In order to facilitate trade in the 18th century navigation channels like this were constructed. Their purpose were to bypass sections of the river that could not be navigated. Boats were towed from the bank by horses. Nowadays the waters are used for leisure and hikers can walk from town to town along the tow paths.
This shot was taken on a gloomy day at the end of December, but the mood was wonderful in the low light. ISO bumped up to 400 because of the poor light. I hadn't got a tripod with me.
