Staines to Windsor on the River Thames
By pleasure boat (Salters Steamers) from Staines to Windsor via Runnymede 6th Sept 2010
This popular service passes through some of the most historically important landscape in the history of England. The river meanders past the vast Home Park through which one can gain exceptional views of the hilltop castle at Windsor. Further downstream one passes Runnymede where the Magna Charta was supposedly signed.
The music is called 'Pillowcase' by a group called 'Titles' from their Album 'Dirt Bell'

Shiplake Lock
An unexpected sunny day arrived last week so I took the opportunity to sneak an hour or so getting to grips with the video function of my new camera. Shiplake is a small village on the outskirts of Henley On Thames. Locks are generally tranquil places where progress has to take turn with the regimental movement of water levels. But there is a determination of purpose that belies the rather quaint work flow of moving boats through the lock.
