The Gatun Locks (1913) on the Panama Canal near Colón, Panama, allow ships to access Gatun Lake. The cruise ship Carnival Pride is seen in the background waiting to enter the locks.
These are on a fence at a viewpoint for Mt Gambier blue lake.
Has always struck me as a strange "tradition" - and a waste of expensive good locks.
They seem to appear in all kinds of odd places.
Everyone to their own taste I guess!
Foxton Locks are the largest flight of staircase locks on the English canal system. The locks are equipped with side pounds, with white paddles emptying a lock into a side pound, and red paddles filling the next lock downstream from the pound. This saves water compared to the more common riser staircases, since changing the direction of traffic does not require emptying/filling almost all the locks.
The Hatton Locks or Hatton Flight are a flight of 21 locks on the Grand Union Canal in Hatton, Warwickshire, England. The flight spans less than 2 miles of canal, and has a total rise of 45 metres.

Stonebridge Locks form part of the Lea navigation System. An important waterway at one time it was used to transport ammunition and gunpowder from Enfield to the River Thames. Here a working narrowboat along with a companion are ready to exit the locks heading north
I signed up for the Canal and River Trust Canalathon fundraiser this month (July 2022). The idea is to run or walk a total of 26.2 miles in July along local rivers and canals across England and Wales. I completed my 26.2 miles in almost one day with a 25.51 mile walk from Market Harborough to Leicester city centre. Earlier walks ensured I'd made my overall target. I plan to keep on canal/river walking in July and to add those walks to my overall total. You can see maps of my walks at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/brian-negus and, if you share my love of the English and Welsh waterways, any donations you feel able to make would be wonderful. I've also tweeted about my walks at www.twitter.com/BrianNegus.
This is part of the flight of 10 locks at Foxton Locks, where I took a brief lunch break after my first 5.8 miles. It is the steepest and longest staircase of locks in the UK. My path continues downhill to Leicester, not up that steep incline. I'm standing on an arched bridge over the canal to take this shot.
Maryhill Locks is a flight of five locks on John Smeaton's Forth & Clyde Canal, which links the east and west coasts of Scotland. The flight drops the waterway from Lock 21 at the west end of the canal's summit stretch to Lock 25, 12.2m below in Glasgow.
The dimensions of the locks in this flight are similar to those used by Smeaton on earlier parts of the canal at the east coast — 22.6m long and 6.1m wide. Each lock in the Maryhill flight is designed to hold enough water in the basin between it and the next lock to allow more than one vessel to use each lock at once, making the the system more flexible.
A favourite place of mine. Knowle locks will on occasions produce lovely conditions for photographs. Tonight was one of those times.
This beautiful locks can be seen on the Michaelisbridge in Hamburg. My Sweetheart and I have one there as well... ;)

At the Makapu'u Light House in Oahu, Hawaii. There's this fence with thousands of locks on it, I loved how the corner of the rail was pointing towards the lighthouse. Enjoy.

The first concrete to be laid on the Panama Canal was at the Gatun Locks near Colón, Panama in August 1909. It took four years to complete the canal's 12 original locks.
