Andrew P Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Don that walk along the canal at Colemere is one of my favourites especially towards Ellesmere where the canal follows the shore of Blakemere and onto the canal tunnel ...wonderful place for scenic ideas and inspiration .... and excellent bird spotting too I've just been looking on Gooooooogle Earth and cant see the Canal at Colemere!

Andrew P Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 I've just had a quick look at the Canal outside, and despite a grey overcast sky it's looking a lot more like it should. It does have a nice greeny / brown tint to it in TOPS, but reflects the Sky outside, just as it should. There is very little milkyness now and with me having TWO MORE busy days, by Thursday it should be fine for me to carry on with some other jobs on the Layout. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) That 's looking good. Anything else planned for the area.....! Thanks Kevin, just the Pub at the top of the bank and then a cutting beyond that. Around the Canal will be a Fisherman, maybe some Kids / Children on the Tow Path, and a Barge, if I can find the right sort, there are many out there, but most are Cargo carrying ones from Days gone by, and would be out of place in a 60's - 80's Canal scene. I don't want to over crowd the area with gimmicks. Edited July 31, 2017 by Andrew P 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus some trees of course sticking out of the bushes, small ones at that - can't forget the trees...... Did you ever find your stolen pub sign? If you need people fishing could I ask the Colonel and his wife to pop over to try out the waters for you? She is having as about much luck as her husband in catching anything in the stream - I think they are getting bored! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sign of the Pub Sign I'm afraid. Yes some smaller Trees that wont cast a shadow on the back scene may be o.k.but I wan't to be able to do UP SHOTS in that area, so I don't wan't to much along the front of the Tracks.
