I went for a little walk on a stretch of the Oxford Canal in the Cherwell District area today, so I thought I would share a few pictures that I took. It was very peaceful. It makes my day when friendly boaters say hello when passing by.
I don't have a fancy camera or anything but I still like taking some pictures while I'm out. :)

Nice looking section of canal. So quiet compared to London and the GU!

Gorgeous section of canal. We have to sail it towards our home mooring after we travel. So do it at least once a year.

This is such a lovely place to walk.

It really is. I moved here from a rural town in the Derbyshire Dales - population less than 4k. Where I currently live the town is much larger and so busy, almost 55k and surrounded by industry and the M40. I go on the canal to escape and feel like I'm back in nature again.

During the pandemic this was a regular daily-exercise route. It was the first time as an adult I watched the same small place go through all four seasons, watching the different birds and plants come and go. I'm not a very nature-y person, but I really appreciated that.

It's really nice to hear that you found an appreciation for the changing nature even if it isn't usually something that's on your radar. I wonder where along the canal route you are compared to me!? I kept it vague with Cherwell District because you know, this is the internet. Lol.

I'm around the Oxford area, so I get a lot of time walking along the Thames. A lot of houseboats. Occasional, worrying house-shipwrecks...

We were on the Oxford canal in September 2020. It was great to be on the canal in the middle of the lockdowns. Here are couple pics from that holiday.

(Apologies for the orientation. I’m still getting used to this UI.)

Lovely pictures! For what it’s worth I think that’s an issue across the board with Lemmy, I’ve seen a lot of sideways pictures. I embedded mine with external hosting links rather than uploading the picture to reduce server load and they stayed the correct way.
