We return to the 2012 Canal Festival in the Northern Quarter, celebrating 200 years of the Rochdale Canal. This is part of a "yarn bombing" installation on Brewer Street Bridge by Kerry Howarth. It's also known as guerilla knitting.
The narrow boat (barge) in the canal below is the Wandering Duck, a boat that you can stay overnight on. For full details of the festival and so much more, do visit the wonderful Creative Tourist website: www.creativetourist.com/featured/drive-in-moor-up-stroll-by-a-guide-to-the-2012-canal-festival
A great photo - I like the way you have framed the narrow boat :-)
ReplyDeleteI once did a short narrow boat holiday with family... quite an experience living in such confined quarters, but a peaceful way to travel!
I think I can take a pass on "guerilla knitting" but the Wandering Duck sure looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteNice shot, and really fancy the boat trip.
ReplyDeleteI also like the framing of the boat. Turning 200 years old is a good reason for celebrating.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and colorful frame. Looks like a fun event, I would love to attend.
