where in the world 501 - boats, henley on thames, quiet reflections by KєєƒH Hєℓℓiทgєr📷🎬💻 Via Flickr: shot by KHWD in 2019, HAPPY EASTER 2019 want to see more images? www.motorhome-travels.net/post/blog-137-swiss-farm-henley... Ah, Henley-on-Thames—where boats don’t just float, they pose. 🚤✨ Along the gentle curve of the Thames, Henley becomes a living gallery of moored vessels. You’ll find everything from elegant Edwardian launches and polished wooden cruisers to cheerful canoes and kayaks bobbing quietly near Mill Meadows and the Regatta course. The reflections? They’re pure poetry—especially in the early morning or golden hour, when the water turns to glass and the hulls, oars, and bunting ripple into painterly doubles. Here’s a closer look at what you’ll find: 🚤 Types of Boats & Canoes - Classic launches: Think polished mahogany, brass fittings, and vintage charm—many offered by Hobbs of Henley and Henley Sales & Charter. - Modern motorboats: Sleek, self-drive vessels perfect for day trips or lazy river cruises. - Canoes & kayaks: Available from Henley Canoe Hire, these are ideal for a quiet paddle under Henley Bridge or along the leafy banks. Where They’re Moored - Mill Meadows: A popular spot with visitor moorings, right by the town centre and surrounded by greenery and riverside paths. - Remenham Farm & Fawley Meadows: Especially lively during the Henley Royal Regatta, with boats lined up like a floating parade. - Private moorings: Managed by Hobbs of Henley, offering longer stays and even undercover storage for trailered boats. 🌊 Reflections in the Water - Golden hour glow: As the sun dips, boats cast long, shimmering reflections that dance with the current—perfect for photography. - Still mornings: Early risers are rewarded with mirror-like water, where every mast and paddle is doubled in dreamy symmetry. - Festival sparkle: During events like the Henley Royal Regatta, the river becomes a kaleidoscope of flags, lights, and reflections. If you’re thinking of capturing this scene, I’d recommend heading out just after sunrise or before sunset. A low angle near the water’s edge—perhaps from the towpath or a quiet jetty—will give you that painterly effect you’re after. Would you like help planning a photo walk or sketching out a scene inspired by it? I’d love to help bring it to life.
