I took my bike today instead of taking the bus. I'm glad I did because there was a lot of traffic and I passed a bunch of cars that were stuck.

A Macro shot, done with the HTC One S. It's amazing what you can do with smartphone cameras nowadays. This photo was just uploaded via instant-upload to google+ and shared there. Then I tried to edit the photo with the editing tools of google+. I just increased the contrast and the color saturation.

Chnatown's Moonta Street was locked against vehicle entry today ... maybe it always is ... but I only saw this photogenic lock today holding down its pillar, and took a photo. Yeah I think it's usually there, but hadn't entered my consciousness ...

This is another view of the north chamber of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 23 (Alexander's Lock), looking east. Lock 23 was a double chamber lock opened at the beginning of the 1842 navigation season, replacing the single chamber Clinton's Ditch Lock 26, which was located nearby. Lock 23 raised and lowered boats eight feet. The south chamber was lengthened in 1889-90. It was abandoned in 1918 uopn the completion of the Barge Canal. General Electric purchased the land from the state, then donated it to the Town of Rotterdam in the 1950's. By the 1990's the lock was almost overgrown. In 1999 the students and faculty from Union College's Dept. of Civil Engineering worked on cleaning up the site and doing some reconstruction. They built a replica of the locktenders shanty and the upstream wooden pier on the upper end of the center island. The Mohawk-Hudson Bike Trail is built on the old towpath and passes right beside the lock. Lock 23 is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located near the intersection of Rice Road and Schermerhorn Road in Rortterdam,NY
Blanchetown - home of Lock No. 1 and Riverland gateway. A Murray River township 135km north-east of Adelaide, and 275 kms from the Murray Mouth. In its hey-days Blanchetown was an important riverbank terminal where goods were offloaded from paddlesteamers to be cleared through the local Customs House. The town's prosperity suffered when the railway by-passed it in favour of upstream Morgan. Blanchetown was one of the first river settlements in South Australia. Surveyed in 1855, the town was named by Governor Sir Richard Graves McDonnell after his wife Lady Blanche McDonnell. It began life as a stopover point and watering place for mail contractors and coaches carrying passengers on the "Sydney Road" as it was then known.
The first of a series of seven locks on the Murray in South Australia (William Randell Lock in honour of the pioneer of river navigation in the 1800's) was completed in 1922.
