Monkland Canal, Coatbridge

Monkland Canal, Coatbridge
The Monkland Canal was a 12 1⁄4-mile-long (19.7 km) canal designed to bring coal from the mining areas of Monklands to Glasgow in Scotland. In the course of a long and difficult construction process, it was opened progressively as short sections were completed, from 1771. Quoted from Wikipedia.

That's one of the earliest canals I have seen Joe. A superb shot with a mood that befits its history...and a swan! Perfect! Cheers, Rosa.
