Sculling past a line of houseboats moored on the Thames at Oxford c3


We are in Christ College Water Meadows, so called because of their predisposition to flooding from the Thames. Here, on the opposite bank of the river, we see a line of houseboats moored by the Thames Walk in Oxford, England; it runs by the south bank of the river, just downstream of Folly Bridge, towards Donnington and beyond. This stretch of the path is much beloved by walkers, joggers and cyclists. As is the river by sports and leisure boaters. We see one here, a lone scull from one of the many University boating teams.
