đź“· A few pictures from a stretch of the Oxford Canal
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. :)
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.
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.
