‘Cargo’ a concrete lamp/light sculpture in the shape of a container ship. Or actually four cargo ships. The deck of the ship is divided into four equal sections on which each you can place the wheelhouse or two containers next to each other.
This gives endless possibilities in the appearance and light effects this 'ships lamp' creates.

Yesterday's fallow canal section was a 10-minute walk. Half already has the water restored. The weir (in the previous post) is in good shape because volunteers worked on it. The dry canal bed still looks bad. See the photo ALT text.

What's involved to undo a 1950s decision to stop maintaining a canal, sell off adjacent land, fill it in, and build roads on it? You can read about the challenges on the work-crew blog:

A photo of a construction site: a lot of reddish dirt with a trench dug through it, and a few sections of brick wall. That's where the canal was. The equipment in the trench – a yellow portable cement mixer and a green portable water tank – indicates the small scale of the project. This is being restored by hand. It's a labour of love that will give Lichfield a linear aquatic park, with trees, benches, and a towpath for walking and cycling on.
