Thanks for your all your comments. Sarah, you can still see this scene as London Road is on the right, the curved bridge in front is the one that takes you to the Gym & Health Club based in the old station building behind the high wall on the left. The next bridge beyond that carries the rail line into Nottingham Station.

Soft and moody, you can feel the mood being on a slow (narrow) boat. Love it.

An oil painting of the Nottingham & Beeston Canal, based on a photo I took 30 years ago when travelling on a narrowboat from Wilford St, Nottingham to Trent Bridge. We had just turned to starboard in the basin under the now demolished Victorian GNR rail viaduct next to the former Boots warehouse, and the winter sunlight along with the shapes of the bridges inspired me to capture the moment.
