I've never travelled the whole canal by boat myself. I prefer looking at water from land rather than being out of it! But back in my youth I did go on a couple of shorter canal trips, including the locks at Trollhättan and Vänersborg. That was aboard fair-sized passenger/ tour boats - not the small "family size" kind.

I enjoyed it because I saw a lot of the country and because I love rivers and canals and, well, water in general. So it was lovely to see the canal here. I've never seen a bridge like that either: simple in concept and quite ingenious in execution. <br /><br />Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-17215351924100139992017-08-21T21:17:27.442+02:002017-08-21T21:17:27.442+02:00awesome shot of the bridge open and gorgeous pics ...awesome shot of the bridge open and gorgeous pics of all those boats in the canal. so beautiful, all of these.
