Crinan Basin Blues

Captured at the Crinan Basin, the western end of the Cinan Canal at Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
The Crinan Canal runs from Ardrishaig to Crinan and is run by Scottish Canals. It is a very beautiful area, particularly when seen on a lovely day like this when everything looks so blue and the clear water echoes and reflects the canal scene

As the boats sail the canal they go through a series of locks which 'equalise' the level of the water in areas where the canal bed isn't uniform, bringing the water levels up or down as required

I have added a link with a nod to this. Please listen to

'When I get low I get high' by the Speakeasy Three

A great title to a beautifully composed image, a large view appears to revel a café on the quayside, a great place to sit and watch boat traffic on this busy canal.
Love the colours and the musical link
Wish you a lovely Friday and a superb weekend.

A most memorable spot and a great canal walk. We saw an Osprey fishing there last time.

It is difficult work to pass the locks, unless they are automatic. HFF Carol.
