A barge is about to enter Pickwick Lock on the Tennessee River Oct. 19, 2011. The Nashville district operates this lock, which is crucial to day-to-day commerce of the United States. Pickwick Lock is located in Counce, Tenn. It is just north of the Mississippi state line. (USACE photo by David Wheeler)
Found this rusty lock on backyard of our old house. Years has gone by, yet it is solid with "ghobare roozegar bar chehreh ash".
We went to visit the Te Apiti wind farm early before I had to catch a flight. Unfortunately the visitor area wasn't opened yet so we had to make do with taking photos from the gate.
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.

Hi! Although this probably happens a lot, it is rarely captured on film!
I thought you'd enjoy the story and pictures!

this has a happy ending for the survivor!
Locked Horns
On November 6, a relative, Dona Viereck, called to tell us that she was driving to
Canton, South Dakota and had seen a buck in the distance with his head down.
It wasn't moving, and although she honked the car horn repeatedly,
he wouldn't raise his head.
She grabbed her binoculars and looked at him, and saw that the buck's horns were
entangled with those of another one, which was dead. So she called us and asked if
we wanted an adventure -- untangling the animals!
Well, we went, pronto!!! I took my camera and we walked right up to them.
They were tangled in an old fence line just east of a golf course, where some railroad tracks had been. The live buck was on the high side, and the dead buck on the slope. The other buck had been dead for 2 or 3 days, we estimated.
Terry attempted to break a point off the dead buck's rack with his pliers, but couldn't. He tried turning the dead buck's head but the other one just became more frightened and started backing up.
The live buck had the bigger rack - a 5 x 6. The dead buck was bigger bodied and looked to be an older deer. It had more "stickers" on its rack.
The now scared buck eventually got out of the fence, and out in the open.
Terry pulled an old post out of the fence line and used it to try and pry the racks
loose, but it didn't work.
We finally decided to go to a friend's house in order to borrow his chainsaw,
but then we thought something quieter would be better,
and so got a hacksaw instead.
Terry sawed the main beam on the dead buck and then other one was free!
The buck didn't realize this for probably 30 seconds or so.
When he did, he started striking the dead buck in the face repeatedly.
He finally raised his head a little, and then a little more.
He stood there with his head held high looking at both of us and we
wondered if he were going to try charging us too!
Then he turned and ran off rather wobbly.
He went a short distance, lay down briefly,
and then got up and took off in the direction of the Big Sioux River.
Terry and Sherry, thanks for the great story and photos,
and for setting the big guy free!

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!
Newbury Lock, with the Lock Stock and Barrel in the distance, on the left, and Newbury bridge visible just over the lock gates.
Shot on Fuji Astia 100. Highlights got blown out slightly, but I thought the composition was strong, so I've uploaded it anyway. Will have to have another go at this one...

saw a lot of animals of course, they were cute but seems like not everyone is happy with the fact, that they are locked in a little place, like this tiny pony (i understand them, i wouldnt be happy too..)
Some love for the Samyang 85mm F/1.4 manual focus lens. I just adore the colour and contrast this lens produces!

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.
