Challenge 461: Bridge of Sighs
I was visiting friends in Cambridge recently, and walked past the famed Bridge of Sighs. It's modelled on the Bridge of Sighs in Venice: can you replace this English street with an appropriate canal scene? EDIT: Mariner has thoughtfully provided me with the following message:
He's absolutely right, of course. I have friends in both places. Well spotted! High res is here.  |

That was easy ... 
Someone was bound to do it ... so I thought I'd get it out of the way!! _________________ "The true story of a real fake" Catch Me If You Can |

Partial extension of Oxford Canal. Cul-de-sac at present  WIP, but nice place to moor.... "Navigators of the navigation exclaim "where's the f'ing" tunnel?" Rebuttal "I was only reading the waterways map...!" . Anyway still an ideal place to stay for a couple of days in centre of Oxford.
Note for those that don't know, or vaguely, the Navigators with support from business entrepreneurs built a large network of narrow boat canal connections which was critical to UK industrial revolution. Bulk no problem. Now it is a heritage to enjoy at leisurely pace with many supporting and restoring. The trains came next...., but the builders were still called Navi's. They did the back breaking work ...pick, shovel and wheelbarrow, in all weathers.. |

I thought I would take a punt this week and include one of my own shots from Cambridge taken just a few weeks ago.  |

So excuse me again going into drifts ..... ignore this I have another idea ..
I'm sharing some of The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Hokusai's most famous print, the first in the series 36 Views of Mount Fuji. I painted/copied for my sister. Enjoyed that and seemed to become very authentic (?). I love it.  |
