Default Wey hey! (1)

Spent a fascinating morning,yesterday,exploring a stretch of the 'Wey and Godalming Waterway'-Surrey, UK.
It was 'dug out in the 17th century and was the first 'commercial waterway' opened in the UK. It's the only waterway to have stayed open continuously from the day it opened until now.....................quite an achievement.

Although barges and pleasure boats can use it a boat owner cannot be resident on the water.

I think you are right on with the naming of the second shot. I also like the third shot.

So serene and what a reflection on your second one. The one tree with orange leaves just jumps out and screams "ORANGE" and its reflection really makes the shot for me and that is why it is my favorite of your set.
