Having come through Isis Lock (a.k.a. Louse Lock) from a northerly direction towards Oxford, boat-users wishing to travel further ahead are obliged to turn to their right here and to travel north-westwards via the River Thames. By doing so, they will then travel parallel with the Oxford Canal for several miles until the two routes split from their parallel state and this user will unavoidably begin to veer towards Godstow Lock. No further progress toward the city, i.e. towards the photographer, is possible because of a barrier of linked floating buoys. The houses in amongst the trees are situated in Rewley Road, a road that curls around the left hand bank.
