Narrowboat AREandARE

From the 2009 & 2010 tantalising tales, traumas and stunning photographs of Barry (photographer) and Sandra (writer) from New Zealand aboard NB 'Northern Pride', to the stories of their 2013 return journey, purchase of 'AREandARE', progress on sustaining their live aboard continuous cruiser lifestyle, and Barry's quest to gain residency and 'Indefinite Leave to Remain' in UK ...

Barry's choice of 'Ten Random Waterways Photographs' (part 1)

I thought I might keep the interest going by posting now and again ten different photographs from our trip at completely random places. I may or may not put where they were taken. All of them will be colour corrected and possibly retouched, and form part of our photo library (from where the prints may be purchased if you're interested).

    Beautiful pictures, look like they where painted in oil over weeks instead of an inspirational instant. This is not a put down, painters have lots of time to "correct" the image, photographers do not! Well done, sir!
