Stairway to Heaven, Hatton Locks, Grand Union Canal in Warwickshire --
If you have x-ray eyes you might just be able to make out a series of 21 locks that barges make their way up. There is a closeup of one of the locks. At the bottom is one barge going up the locks being driven by a young woman. She and her partner have lived on the barge for 3 months. One cat was already aboard and the partner was off rounding up the others to live on the barge over the summer. The young woman was doing a difficult and tedious task with great skill and confidence but it was taking hours and she was getting weary.
