Eastern End.

The East Coast end of the Caledonian Canal which is a 60-mile (96.5km) waterway in Scotland running from Inverness to Fort William through the Great Glen, featuring 22 miles of man-made canals and 38 miles of natural lochs (Ness, Oich, Lochy). Designed by Thomas Telford and opened in 1822, it features 29 locks—including the famous "Neptune's Staircase"—and 10 swing bridges,

Boats up to 45.72m (150ft) long, 10.67m (35ft) wide (beam), and with a 4.1m (13.5ft) draft can navigate the Caledonian Canal. The maximum mast height is 35m (115ft), but air draft is limited by bridges to around 27.4m (89.8ft).

HFF and a good weekend!

A grand view Roger,..and good info'..thanks,.I have a big interest in the building and workings of canals and the ingenious engineering of them., feeds and drains by-passes etc. Back in the day I would think the routes would need to be actually walked in order to plan out the systems..// Dj.

I love the strong diagonal of your composition, Roger. The cabin cruiser provides foreground interest. The canal acts as a lead-in line taking the eye to the heart of the scene. Have a great weekend. All the best, Joe
