The bottom lock at Braunston is part of the Braunston Lock Flight, a series of six locks on the Grand Union Canal in Braunston, Northamptonshire. These locks help boats navigate a 35-foot rise in elevation as they move between the lower and upper sections of the canal. The bottom lock is the first lock encountered when heading uphill toward Braunston Tunnel. It’s a busy spot, especially during summer, as Braunston is a major junction where the Grand Union and Oxford Canals meet. The lock is surrounded by charming countryside, making it a favourite among boaters and walkers.

Taken for Macro Mondays theme 11.9.17-'Rust'. Plenty of rusty objects but trying to make them interesting is another story.
So this is your dungeon door?
No, Valeria, this is simply my cellar, with a lock that has seen 20 years of wear and tear.
From locking your slaves in?
Of course not. I'm not sure if we should even talk about this subject, it's a family friendly group.
Yup. Every family should have a slave.
You sure?
Yes, to do all the things no-one wants to do. Cleaning, doing the dishes, writing the tax declaration...
Okay, I admit, that would be handy.
Aaaand?
Yes, all my slaves are locked up in that cellar, all zero of them.
Zero. Is that a big number?
Of a dimension that you cannot even count.
Ha, I knew it! You are a pervert!
That, my dear, is old news.

MS Mount Washington from Lockes Hill Scenic Overlook
Lockes Hill Trail in Gilford, NH is a pleasant little hike with terrific views of Lake Winnipesaukee (New Hampshire's Largest Lake).
I happened to time the hike perfectly so that the Mount Washington was going by just as I reached one of the scenic overlooks along the trail.
This little T6/Sigma 18-125mm setup is one of my favorite hiking combinations and I've been pleased with several of my images from this combination, even though it's a budget arrangement.

The Ludwig Canal (German: Ludwig-Donau-Main-Kanal or Ludwigskanal), is an abandoned canal in southern Germany. It linked the Danube River at Kelheim with the Main River at Bamberg, connecting the Danube basin with the Rhine basin. The canal is named after King Ludwig I of Bavaria, and was built between 1836 and 1846.
The canal had a narrow channel, with many locks, and a shortage of water in the peak section, so the operation of the waterway soon became uneconomic — especially given the rapidly advancing construction of the railway network in southern Germany. The canal was finally abandoned in 1950.
Construction of the roughly parallel, but much larger, Rhine–Main–Danube Canal was started in 1921, but not completed until 1992.
For function, the old canal needed 69 locks and canal keepers houses that were built after a design supervised by the famous architect Leo von Klenze.
The lock-keepers and their assistants were responsible for both the operation of the locks (for an average of three locks), and for the care and maintenance of the channel and its facilities.
Here, we see lock number 5 near the castle of Prunn.
