  • It is mid-day on the narrow stretch of river, green lilly pads float on its surface and in unbder a fierce sun overhead, three young men are lazily making their way to the viewer in a rowing boat on the River Thames near the village of Shillingford, England. The young male in the middle is the one rowing and he pulls on one oar to steer around an unseen obstacle in the absolutely calm, clear blue waters of this majestic river whose source rises in deepest Gloucestershire to its industrial estuary in the English Channel 215 miles (346 km) away. But here in Oxfordshire, we see an idyllic scene of adventure and peace on calm rural waters in a beautiful and tranquil setting, on an English midsummer day. 'Three men in  a Boat' published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford.

  • Rotting in the undergrowth near the harbour at Newport, Pembrokeshire, North-east Wales, lies an old rowing boat. The timbers are succumbing to the weather and tidal waters of the River Nevern and the boat is barely afloat in the waterlogged terrain. Weeds and other vegetation is gradually overtaking its integrity and its wooden frame is host to an abundance of plant and wildlife. It can no longer serve as a vessel of the river as it is a wreck that nature is reclaiming and soon to hide completely from view.

  • A pair of trainers attached to the foot plate on boat belonging to the Oxford University rowing team outside a boathouse in Putney, West London before a winter training session. First raced in 1829 the boat race between Oxford and Cambridge unbiversities is one of the oldest sporting events in the world. It is nowadays watched by thousands along the banks of The Thames Tideway, between Putney and Mortlake in London and by millions more on TV around the world. The footplate is a piece of the boat to which the rower's feet are attached, either by tying their actual shoes in, or (more often) by putting their feet into a permanently-attached pair of shoes. (also Foot stretcher and footchock).

  • Two crewmen of a felucca row their boat during a drop in wind while sailing on the River Nile at Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt.

  • Facing a setting sun, the near-exhausted rowers of a small 'jolly boat' has almost completed the long Great River Race by pulling their oars along 22 miles of the River Thames. About to row past the battleship HMS Belfast on the right and under Tower Bridge beyond, the four friends negotiate the choppy waters of the capital's river. The Great River Race (also known as 'London's River Marathon') attracts both the true racer and the leisure rower. The course from Richmond to London docklands was inspired by the immense interest generated by a 1987 charity event in which the famous Doggett's Coat & Badge winners from The Company of Watermen & Lightermen rowed its shallop, or passenger barge, from Hampton Court to The Tower of London.

  • The Australian born Oxford University veteran rower James Ditzell returns from another winter training session on the Thames. Many of his team mates are only 19 but at 45 James is currently the oldest ever rower in the history of the boat race. He trains with the rest of his squad on the Thames from Putney in West London under race conditions, hoping that as race day (April 6th 2012), his times are good enough for a seat in one of two of Oxford boats.

  • Seen on a giant screen in the Olympic Park, South Africa's gold medallist rowers Sizwe Ndlovu, John Smith, Matthew Brittain and James Thompson celebrate after winning the men's lightweight four rowing finals during the London 2012 Olympics. Spectators pass by as the team members celebrate with emotional hugs in their winning boat a few miles away in west London. This land was transformed to become a 2.5 Sq Km sporting complex, once industrial businesses and now the venue of eight venues including the main arena, Aquatics Centre and Velodrome plus the athletes' Olympic Village. After the Olympics, the park is to be known as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

  • From an aerial perspective, we look down on the green algae and a lone rower who is sculling upstream of the River Lea (Also Lee) in east London, England. The words No Fishing have been painted by hand on a old Victorian lock that once served as a navigable route for barges to negotiate this inner-city waterway. With its source in the Chiltern Hills and ending in the River Thames, this stretch of river has seen development from Saxon times through to the building of the 2012 Olympic site at Stratford. Meticulously placing his oars in the water, he parts the organic growth with the slim boat's hull and looks over his shoulder to check his distance and angle as he nears the lock's concrete spans.

  • A pair of awkwardly splayed legs disappear into the cold, murky waters of the Serpentine Lake in London's Hyde Park. Having just dived head-first off a platform that juts out into the lake, the person is half in and half out and the splash is frozen in time. He or she is in incopetent diver with such ungainly plunge into the waters. It is otherwise a quiet moment. The water is largely undisturbed apart from the dive and buoy markers float to for a boundary line to keep rowing boats and bathers apart. This bathing area is where the normally busy Serpentine Swimming Club have the use of this Royal lake known as Lansbury's Lido. It is now normally open only in the summer, but one traditional event occurs each year on New Year's Day, when the ice is broken and brave bathers dive into the cold waters of the lake. The Serpentine will be used for the swimming leg of the triathlon at the London 2012 Olympics. The Serpentine gets its name from its supposedly snakelike, curving shape. It was formed in 1730 when Queen Caroline, wife of George II, ordered the damming of the River Westbourne and other natural ponds in Hyde Park. ..

  • The shadow of a tourist is seen across a central pillar covered in graffiti on Ponte Vecchio that crosses River Arno, Florence. The names of past visitors are etched on the medieval plaster and beyond is a rower who sculls upstream on the river towards the boating club that lies just beyond the bridge at the water's edge. The Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is a Medieval bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewellers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. It has been described as Europe's oldest wholly-stone, closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge. To enforce the prestige of the bridge, in 1593 the Medici Grand Dukes prohibited butchers from selling there; their place was immediately taken by several gold merchants.
