Today in 2012 . The R. Meuse in Belgium near Anhee. Really nice mooring with the village an easy ride down the towpath for the morning bread. The old fort on top of the cliff is lit at night.

Hmmm, when I an older, I'll work out how to post Tonic pics from an Android phone. Through the browser the normal camera has its images rejected as too many megabytes and the selfie camera needs a mirror to view them, as well as being hard to frame the pic. We need a Tonic phone app. ...16520063891856598928751561355775.jpg.5d9b700aad8e458be2a12b690d1114ec.jpgaha changing camera resolution helped. Now a bit older and wiser...

Today in 2005 we met the Kempenaar barge Ibis coming up from Antwerp on the Schoten Turnout canal with sand for a big concrete plant. These barges can carry up to 550 tones but this was a fairly new traffic to the canal after many years without any commercials so they are slowly increasing draft as the channel gets better . We were on our way to dry dock in Antwerp harbour. O

I'd like to post some pics in this section but they are, apparently, too big (big in a megabyte sense that is)

Is there a way around this?

 

Either re size them as others have suggested or do what I do nowadays and take a screenshot and post that instead.
