Had some nice light this morning, so slight divert driving into Manchester this morning and went past Lock 57, near Sandbach, and thought it looked worth a shot. 3 XPs HDR. Best on black. Shot around 06:30am.
En 1903 se instaló en la localidad de Dois Rios (Isla Grande, Brasil) una colonia penal conocida como "Colônia Correcional".
A partir de 1931, con la apertura del camino que conduce a Vila do Abraão y luego de varias reformas, pasó a llamarse "Instituto Penal Cândido Mendes".
El mismo albergó presos altamente peligrosos hasta 1994, cuando fue desactivado por orden del Gobierno Estatal.

In 1903, a penal colony known as Colônia Correcional was established at the former headquarters of Fazenda de Dois Rios (Ilha Grande, Brazil).
After 1931, when the road that gave access to Vila do Abraão was built, and having undergone many refurbishment its name was changed to Cândido Mendes Penal Institute.
Dangerous criminals were housed there until 1994, when the State Government had it imploded.
When you're locked for life, you start to appreciate the small freedoms. The colors...

" The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, the finish by loading honors on your head. "
_Jean Cocteau_
The old home fell a few years ago. The barn still stands and the lock and chain hold firm....We've lived around here 30 years and it's been locked all this time...I wonder if the person who put it on ever thought it would be there this long.....Happy New Years to you all and I hope this is your best year ever......
As these two ladies were wearing horns, I suggested that they butt each others' heads like rams or stags do to establish dominance. This is also known as "locking horns" which I thought would be funny if they could lock their horns without breaking anything. Which they did. Why anyone listens to my hare-brained ideas is beyond me. ;->
Tech stuff: B&W layer which I partially masked out the golds, greens, and flesh-tones; darkened and blurred out the background; and used Topaz Adjust's "Portrait Drama" to bring out the details in their armor and horns. I think it looks pretty spiffy!
Comments, please?
Bingley Five Rise Lock staircase, the steepest lock staircase in Britain, is the most spectacular feature of the Leeds and Liverpool canal. It is situated about half a mile north of Bingley Railway station.
The locks open directly from one to another, with the top gate of one forming the bottom gate for the next.
The Bingley Five Rise Lock was opened in 1774 and has a total fall of 60 feet. The locks are a Grade 1 listed structure and have been awarded a Red Wheel plaque by the Transport Trust.

Wallbridge Upper Lock on the part restored Thames & Severn Canal in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
The Stroudwater Canal and The Thames & Severn Canal meet in Stroud at Wallbridge and are both currently being restored by the Cotswold Canals Trust. When complete this will reopen the canal connection between the River Severn and the River Thames, although this will still take many years.

Teen SRC Lock In 2014
Teens who read over 25 hours over the summer were invited to attend the library's after-hours lock in party. Teen Librarian Cathy hosted the event with other library staff to ensure all had a "Wild" and Fantastic " evening. Activities included, Jungle Jewelry, Jungle Masks, Face Painting, Animal Hunt, Animal Bingo, Jungle Jump rope and best wild animal call contest! Teens munched on Monkey Fruit, Cheetah Chow, Licorice Snakes, Monkey Droppings and Zebra Cakes as well as the main fest of a Serpent Sandwich! The Teens left after 4 hours of jungle-fever-fun with a goodie bag to remember their "Jungle-tastic" good time. We would like to say Thanks to our Friends of the Escondido Library for sponsoring this final event for our AWESOME, Teen Readers!
