Evening on the Canal

A last look at Pocklinton Canal for now. It looks almost wintry but this was taken on a mild March evening.

Pocklington Canal

This is another view of the lovely Pocklington canal. Kingfishers skim along here, Otters swim through, and who knows what is hiding in those reedy edges?

L is for Lock

This is a view along the Pocklington canal toward one of the 9 Locks. Built almost 200 years ago it was used to transport coal, lime, manure, corn, flour, and timber. After falling into disuse as a commercial waterway around 1920 it has been gradually restored and is now designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is also a beautiful place for a peaceful walk.Taking part in ABC Wednesday
