poliphilo | Portland Basin, Ashton-u-Lyne

Oh, what a splendid photo, thank you!

Cheers! :)

Two Canada ex-pats in a BEAUTIFUL spot. Gorgeous picture, thanks for posting it.

Those Canada geese are everywhere. I snapped these little guys in the park this afternoon

We've got a mess of them right about the same age ...I love the goslings and their fog grey feathers.

I guess it's camoflauge. They hardly show up against the water. I was looking at them in the viewfinder and they were all but invisible.

Lovely! And the same name as my hometown (well, the Portland part)
:)

Thanks.

I believe the basin (and probably the canal it serves) was excavated by the Duke (or Earl, I forget which) of Portland.

Lovely!

Thanks.
