Hail to the Hive!
After a lot of cruising in bad weather to beat a scheduled lock closure we made it to Chirk. Chirk marks the border between England and Wales and once we’ve crossed this we will be on our way to an even bigger, longer canal aqueduct which is hard to imagine as this one is quite impressive.
We decided to take a walk down the road to have a look at both the canal aqueduct and railway viaduct ( that runs along side it ) from below, to get some perspective.
From below the sheer size of the arches is mind boggling. It looks strong despite it being over two hundred years old. Hope it is we will be cruising over it later.
Interestingly the stone bricks/ blocks used in its construction are not uniform in size which I found intriguing. It must have taken ages to sort out that puzzle.
Stood below looking up at the arches of both the viaduct and the aqueduct I feel like I am stood below some ancient monument rather than a functional structure that is still in operation today.
Time to test it out and cruise across from England to Wales secure in the knowledge that it is one solidly built piece of engineering!
Gorgeous pictures! Makes me want to dust off my camera! I think I’ll wait for the storm to pass though or I’m likely to get clonked on the head by a branch knowing me haha 😂
Thanks @beautifulbullies 😃. I have to say it's one of the things I love most about Hive is that it gives me reasons to get out and capture images and provides a brilliant conduit to channel creativity with a purpose. We are moored up in a gulley hopefully sheltered from the wind!
absolutly nice pics dude! you have always shown good material in terms of photography. Thank you ! 🙏
Thanks for the compliment @chuitocastle much appreciated. The hive blockchain is a great platform for us to apply ourselves creatively. Having daily competitions like #monomad has really helped inspire me to take more photos and to look for opportunities for photography in my travels. Thanks again, nice to get positive feedback!
That is one of the characteristics here that I like the most and that is to always have a target or an influence that helps us to improve our publications more and more and that is the great thing that I see in your case. The quality and interest in doing things well is really noticeable and I have always seen a pattern in your posts that really attract a lot of attention.
And don’t forget to have fun with it. For me, if it’s not fun, then it’s not worth doing. I really enjoy the whole process. Tonight I Will probably upload a video on #3speak as I enjoy doing that as well. It’s also nice to watch Hive evolve and improve.
