  Europe April/May #11

Canal Perspectives

Barge enters another lock

Tom has to concentrate - very difficult lining up barge between sides of locks



Foreign signs are always interesting





A quiet place to contemplate - life!





Heron keeps watch as we pass by


Tom "honks" (very loud) horn - warning barges that might be heading in our direction

Captain Tom and Second Mate Lisa

Blossom time

The forests are so pretty during this time of year

Plants find a way to grow on side of locks

Coming around the bend

Weeds are also pretty
Traffic jam - Because of our size, smaller boats have to move out of our way

Looking out kitchen window at lock's wall as we drop to lower height

Anyone want goat cheese and fresh eggs?


Homes along the canal

Old canal

New canal


Lisa cooking up lardons aka bacon



Listening to church bells as we arrive at a small village is special





Interesting tree and its bark



Breathe in that fresh air!

Heading to our next stop

Antique crane used by local railroad

Honoring locals killed during the wars

Lumber yard decoration

Interesting store front







Area know for its crystal

A unique way for a restaurant to advertise

Local forest is cleared of dead trees. Fire season is approaching

Faded artwork on old building



Time to relax on the barge's deck



Always something interesting to see
