This view shows a section of the Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 61 (Upper Macedon Lock) which was built in 1862. This is the north chamber, looking southeast.. This chamber is used as a spillway for Lock 30 of the modern Erie Barge Canal so there is fast running water moving through it. It is a double chamber lock. It was referred to as the Upper Lock, as there were two Enlarged Erie Canal locks in Macedon at that point in time. It is not maintained so due to all the brush and assorted greenery it is difficult to see . It is located off of Route 31 on Route 31 F/ 350 in the village of Macedon across the road from Erie Barge Canal Lock 30.
Deep in the woods is a footbridge across the river Dart, but only if you have the key. The little stream in the forground feeds into the river Dart.
The hardware for the nook porch door is substantial. Unfortunately, it's stuck in the locked position, so it has gone to the Lock Doctor
I went out shooting for the first time in a while this past weekend after being inspired by a video tutorial by Brian Matiash on Phototools 2.5.
I decided to take a drive around some of the east side industrial areas of Portland. I really spent more time scouting locations than I spent shooting and at this particular location, just before it started to pour, furtive glances were cast my direction by a suspicious individual. Needless to say I didn't stray to far off the main road to capture this shot.
I never did quite understand how the lock came to rest on this cement block. Actually two were interlocked and I can't really guess at how they came to be. Any ideas?
Technical note: This was processed using 7 shots into Photomatix, color calibrated with the Xrite Color Checker Passport, and edited using a couple of Phototools 2.5 filters. Finally, it was sharpened with an unsharp mask.
Enjoy!

Ancient lockable box in the National Museum of Scotland". I've always loved this box and can remember being fascinated by it when I was a child, trying to work out how it all operated.

Recreating a shot I took over six years ago on one of my first early morning forays. This is St Catherine's Lock on the river Wey at Shalford near Guildford.

The lock in Minetto is near the Minetto Bridge. Near this lock there are stone abutments in the water. These were part of the second Minetto Bridge, built in 1872. There is a lot of history that can be learned along the river
Talk about setting a bad example. no wheels secured. it is not obvious that the lock is a secure type either.
Do not use my images without asking first, please and thank you!
Honestly, I was kind of confused to why this was there and how it got there because it obviously unlocks but it wasn't holding something together. Whatever! It made a good photograph, and that's all I care about!
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.
This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 51. The view in the photo is of the extended south chamber looking west from the heelpath. Lock 51 was built in 1847 and is a double chamber lock with the south chamber double length on the west end. This lock locked down to the west, thus the usual three overflow openings are on the east end. This lock replaced the original lock (located in the village) which was demolished when the Jordan level was extended. It is located approx. 2 miles west of the village of Jordan, NY at the Onondaga - Cayuga County Line on the north side of Route 31. There is a small canal park here and the trail next to the lock has been redone and is excellent.
