A blue-and-green boat house with bushes and trees in the background, on the opposite side of the Thames in Oxford

As the River Thames snakes its way through & beyond Oxford, it's at times lined with boat houses back-to-back; with expensive real estate, and a packed city, it's no wonder that so many people choose to live a little further away, in something that's easy to move & doesn't cost nearly as much to live in.

This particular boat had caught my eye with its mix of soft colors and seemingly good maintenance (there are a lot of beaten-down or abandoned boats to see).
