Canals and The Past

I took a walk down on the Kennet river at Burghfield near The Cunning Man pub, as I never need any excuse to get close to and to enjoy the tranquility of water. I would love to have been able to have walked this path a 100 years or so ago, although I doubt it has changed much. The picture was taken today, but I used a bit of editing magic to try and recreate a scene from days gone by. Over the past 12 months I have enjoyed some wonderful times close to water whether it be in Sydney, Australia or just by the Thames close to home.
