This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 58. Okay, I have to say this right off, this pains me to see what has happened to this lock-----that it is being used to store scrap metal. But , as they say, it is what it is, I guess. Anyhow, this was a single length double chamber lock built around 1841. The storage building/garage seems to be built into the south chamber. This particular view is looking west at the south chamber. The northern wall of the south chamber can be seen to the right of the building. It is currently the property of a scrap metal company. Back in canal days it was referred to as the Middle Lockville Lock. It is located approximately 1/2 mile east of Lock 59 in Newark, NY just north of Route 31 on Lyons Street.
This is my dads locked deer mount. He found the antlers locked together on his land around Desmet, SD. He had a taxidermist mount the deer heads like this.
This one is not highly inventive, but it is the last of the tasks to complete "The World Through My Eyes"' Weekly Scavenger Hunt #42.

This building located in the Port of Dunkerque is now closed and I believe the lock is no longer in use. Photographed in September 2018.
While walking along the Crop Walk route today I noticed this nice dock, but with a locked gate to keep people off it. There are some legal concerns about who owns the water and how can they legally keep people out. Gets to be interesting debate!
Then hang up the keys outside, so that you din't lose them, or forget them when you want to get in again. Top idea.

This is the lower end entrance to Lock 18 with the north chamber on the right and the half buried south chamber on the left. Lock 18 was a double chamber lock put into service in 1842. It was built largely of Amsterdam stone and was in service until about 1916. It was the last and highest lock in Cohoes. The south chamber is partially filled in. The Cohoes locks were never lengthened during the later enlargement. Lock 18 is on the National Historic Register and is located on North Mohawk Street across from Cohoes Falls.
An example of the lock system on the Welland Canal. Most "Lakers' are built to just barely fit in these locks.
Hardingswood Road crosses the Trent & Mersey Canal near Kidsgrove in this October 2008 scene. Part of Lock 41 can be seen in the foreground, marking the top of the Red Bull flight.
Lock in state of advanced disrepair. Unlike much of the Canal de Nantes a Brest, this short stretch in in ruins. It was actually really spooky standing in the bedding while imagining barges floating by. The canal was commissioned and built by Napoleon to circumvent the British naval blockade of Brittany. On certain stretches convict labour was used. The canal towpath has been made accessible to cyclists, which means Brittany can be traversed from east to west and vice versa with easy gradients over a distance of approximately 200km (125 miles).
