Locks and canals

Our second visit to this site on a bright warm Spring day, looking down through the many locks heading into Audlem (Cheshire)
At Audlem on the Shropshire Union canal there is a run of 15 locks descending into and through the village as you head north
Lock to lock...... Brookfoot to Cromwell locks on the Calder and Hebble Canal near Brighouse in West Yorkshire.
It looked like the Narrowboat was having a problem has they were 'reversing' to the Lock and on my way back and hour or so later they were only in the next lock along (half and mile or so)
A sunny late summer afternoon at Five Locks, Pontnewydd on the Mon and Brec Canal near Cwmbran. Perfect for a walk after a visit to lovely nearby Trio's Tea Room who celebrated their 7th birthday today.
"Locks of Love"
I headed down to the Town of Kansas Bridge near the Missouri River hoping to capture some sunset images from that vantage point. As usual, I got to my location quite early to find the best spots to set up. The observation deck holds literally hundreds “Locks of Love”. The placing of love locks is a custom whereby couples affix a padlock to a bridge, fence, gate or similar fixture so pronouncing their unbreakable and everlasting love. I was rewarded with some passing clouds and some magnificent streaks of light just before the sun went down.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Black and white re-edit of a shot from March 2019. A year that was peak street photography for me so far, thanks to the pandemic and my back, but hopefully I can pick up where I left of sometime in the future. I hope you are enjoying my re-edits and hidden archive shots in the meantime. Stay safe my Flickr friends.
Downtown Ottawa, Canada, looking at the Locks that open up into the Rideau River. You could also see the Gatineau Hills across the river on the Quebec side. Parliament Hill is seen on the left.
We had such strong wind in the last couple of days that most of the snow blew away, so that the fields are bare. Most of it blew until it filled in roads and then turned brown as gritters covered it. So I had to search hard this morning to find some white stuff in an interesting form. Fortunately I wandered towards the higher locks at Bosley to discover that where the snow had been blown off the fields it had curled over the top of the lock side creating a lovely overhang
The University Footbridge over the River Torrens that has increasingly become the place to declare eternal love with locks. I went hunting for my friends' love lock but alas there were too many.
Not sure why, but people are determined to leave locks attached to fences in the vicinity of the Golden Gate Bridge. However, removal of locks happens on a regular basis, along with removal of graffiti.
