Re: [LRflex] Sunday walk -and a new URL

Hi David,
you're more awake than I am, the third shot should be:

It is the same picture, just a crop out of the middle.The canal here is not as bad as some of the inland waterways further east, they've got ice between 15 and 30cm thick, and even the ice-breakers are having problems.In a couple of cases cargos have had to be unloaded and put on the road.
I've been working much too hard this week, this afternoon was the first time I've been out further than the garden fence for about 8 days, not quite 24/7 but getting close on 16/7. 3 weeks holiday in summer is already paid for, so it's off to the North sea coast again in July and August - let's hope it's thawed by then.
Maybe I'll try to get a couple of days off next week, I still haven't managed to get my IIIG and my R-motor drive into intensive care yet.
cheers
Douglas

G'Mornin' Douglas!

Wow!

First of all, I am surprised. I didn't know that they used icebreakers on the canals... not that they shouldn't... just that I'd never thought about it!

Secondly, here, in the "Frozen North", high in the mountains, the weather has been extraordinarily mild... yesterday was +8° (46° F to our American friends) and today it is only -4°, at 8 AM. Should go to well above zero, by noon or so. People are walking around in light jackets... a few are even in short sleeved shirts!

Third... All three are very nice shots... though I like the first, the best of the lot.

One question... how come the second and third shots are the same? Just curious!

Cheers!
