Approaching Eckersmuhlen Lock
Eckersmuhlen Lock was the second of a series of three massive locks on the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal; each of which raised The Emerald Star 82 feet each time we passed through the locks.
After leaving the Leer Stetten Lock a heavy rain storm started as we sailed towards Eckersmuhlen Lock; this meant I had to shelter the camera under the lee of the sundeck at the bow of the ship as I took 1100 photographs to form a time lapse of passing through the lock.
The massive structure of the lock appeared through the rain as we approached from downstream, looking like a huge mouth, open ready to swallow our ship whole.
