Subject: [Leica] IMG: a dreary winter's day by the canal

Hi all,

A very soggy, slushy and monochrome day today, lots of snow overnight 
and now its drizzly and thawing.

Our son (21) just buggered off with the car without asking - so guess 
who had to walk along the canal bank to the local supermarket to get 
some coffee!

As if the weather wasn't depressing enough.

If he wasn't over 6ft tall and didn't spend half his time pumping iron, 
I'd probably beat the living daylights out of him when he gets back ;-)

Anyway, I took a camera along, there weren't any colours to speak of, so 
here are some equally dreary B&W shots.

A nice place to sit - in summer

German signposts just make my day - everything's forbidden - and if you 
slip and fall, it's your own fault

The supermarket is at the other end of this bridge - and then some

Barges on their way to Rotterdam

I actually rather like the bow-wave on this one - shot from the bridge

Same again - with a quartet of ducks

And again - with 4 different ducks

The 4 ducks again - swimming in a different formation

Nearly home - a barge passing the back of our house

Some berries - thawing quickly

Hope the sun is shining wherever you are
