The location of this watery scene is the Trent and Mersey Canal at Horninglow Basin, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, England.
The reflections at the top of the picture are from narrow boats and the colors on the water surface give the impression of oil on water, but there was no sign of any pollution; so it must have been reflected light that was causing it.
