Crinan Basin, a mooring base for boats using the Crinan Canal, Argyll, Scotland.
Commentary.
Tranquillity personified.
Man-made, but calm.
Crinan Canal and Basin was built to save a 120-mile journey
around the Kintyre Peninsula from Loch Fyne to the Argyll Coast of ancient Dalriada.
On a summer’s morning, after 07:00, the sun had not yet burnt off the night clouds.
Countless boat-trips are possible on this three-and-a-half-thousand mile western seaboard, but few can be as peaceful
and scenic as this canal trip.
Mountains, moors, lochs, forest, islands, sea-lochs, cliffs, boats and wildlife are a delight to the eye, at every twist and turn.
This engineering marvel of Telford and Rennie must have brought pleasure to thousands of sea-farers over the last two-hundred years, and, as seen here, must still do so.
