Emerging From the Tunnel
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 26 Aug 2013
In a few metres I will emerge from the tunnel into the light, and this was the best of a poor bunch of images taken inside it. Fortunately there is a stout handrail all the way along the towpath, because in the gloom it would be quite easy to fall off the wet slippery setts into the canal. The vertical feature in the middle of the image isn't a fault in the image or camera; it's a fault in the roof of the tunnel which results in a constant flow of water through a hole almost above the towpath.
