Canal Boat

I have been in Manchester since November 2010 and have taken a few walks along the canal, however had not seen a Canal Boat until today. Since it was a lovely spring day I decided to go for a walk along the canal and see what photos I could take. I asked te owners of the boat if I could take some photos and they agreed to it. It took them about 10 mins to pass through the gate, so I have a few of the boat. I decided to use this picture as I had a very nice close up shot of it. Hope you all like it.
