This is a small section of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 53. It was a double chamber lock built in 1841, with a second chamber being added in 1874 and the north chamber being lengthened in 1888. There actually is quite alot still left of the old lock but it was completely covered in brush and mega greenery the day I was there . I was almost gonna enter the forest but then I noticed poison ivy so I decided to wait on it and come back again for a better shot in the fall. This is the lower end of the lock , the outside view. The lock is on private property and is not really maintained. It's located a short distance west from the village of Clyde, NY
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.
A lock on one of the gates of a Mapuche community. It is a testament to the repressed lifestyle that they are destined to lead until changes are made.
Its a shame I could get a better angle, if I'd know how good this was going to look I would have tried harder.

This lock has been preserved in superficial working order since at least the 1970s. Even if it were working it would serve no purpose as about fifty yards further north the canal is culverted under Pentre Lane. Ironically, the locks between Pentre Lane and Ty Coch have been restored to working order even though the navigable stretch of the canal finishes about two miles further north at Five Locks, Pontnewydd, and the canal is culverted at Pentre Lane and Hollybush Way, isolating this section.
Uncle Bill's funeral was very moving, a really nice tribute to a really good man. I enjoyed our weekend with the family despite the circumstances, but when the funeral was over on Sunday night, we just wanted to get on the road and get on with the four-hour drive home. We did not want to be locked out of the car. Our van is the one closest to the camera with the men standing around looking at it.

This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 62. This view is of the south chamber, standing on the west end looking toward the east. The lock was built in 1855 with two separate chambers, with the south chamber being lengthened in 1877. The lock was abandoned in 1918. The towpath trail is maintained but the lock has deteriorated somewhat. You will find it located in the Pittsford Plaza near Wegmans ( in the very back, up the hill ) or along a trail from French Road approximately one mile north of the village of Pittsford.

Coming out of front door the other day, I noticed that light was reflecting off the scratched and weathered metal surface of the lock onto the door frame.
