This is my attempt at attaching a photo! Trying to follow notes and will add more if it works... Seems okay, though I did expect a larger image.

Firstly I'd like to thank all the fabulous people I've met while walking/photographing along tow paths. In particular this summer my son and I have learnt so much about canals, boats, locks, etc. The kind folk who spent many hours chatting to us, answering our very basic queries and teaching us the workings of locks. (My 10 year old son will pull anything apart to find how it works/ is constructed but so much of the locks workings is concealed.) I will learn how to attach photos and videos. Are there any instructions on how to do this? I have searched around but to no avail. Also can anyone suggest some reading material for us to increase our very fundamental knowledge? maybe a bit of canal history as well as how things work.

I will attach a photo...! Quite often its good to do images in groups of threes e.g. the bow of a boat, then zoom into the bumper and then a real close up to just the knots but your daughter's teacher will have covered this aspect.

What fabulous photos! Always so dramatic in black-and-white. As an amateur photographer and keen walker of tow paths but new to your forum I haven't yet learnt how to attach photos but am going to try... For gcse art grossly enlarged detail often makes fantastic subjects; I take lots of photos of small objects seen at unusual angles. Your daughter can do this following a theme and then expand project into art work.

She's looking awesome... but is Geoffrey installed in the boatman's cabin yet rather that Henry?
