The charm of the river is highlighted in this classic composition of moored boats, overhanging trees, and a perfectly-positioned swan - the ultimate vision of a lazy day spent away from traffic and stress.

The wooden boats in the picture belong to the riverside restaurant, out of shot to the right. As a teenager, in 1974, it was my job on a Sunday afternoon to hire these out. We did have a few people fall out of the boats, but no one complained. A warm brew and some towels was all it took to make things right.
