Built in 1925, this was one of around 50 dams that ran along the Ohio. They were designed and ran by the government.
Can't have your bike lock getting cold ya know. ;-)
Actually it's a great idea - helps keep from scratching up the paint on your bike. Very creative.
lock and chain I found next to this tree by the river. I found it interesting that there were two locks on it.

Interior: oval stone tunnel-vaulted ceiling to each cell. A very well preserved example of this building type. EH Listing
The titles that I have given these windows are purely my own invention and are totally unrelated to the (undeclared) intention of the two artists, Mireille Juteau and Gérard Hermet, maîtres verriers of Chartres. They are in the church of St Jacques just outside the medieval walls of Béziers and were installed in 2013. They are the most astonishing and beautiful windows, which, when we visited, were filling the church with glorious coloured light, which was reflected in the softly coloured stonework of the Norman walls. Sadly the church is usually locked.
Large levers operated by these gears allow the lock's downstream doors to be swung shut behind the boats. Here, one of the students provides the muscle to operate the crank.

The first snow of the winter season came down rather heavily in Stockholm. Someone had safely locked their cycle at Kungstragarden, and the snow added a bit more protection. ;)
Boulter's Lock is a lock and weir on the River Thames in England on the eastern side of Maidenhead (formerly in Cookham) Berkshire. The lock is on the western side of the river between the main (A4094) Maidenhead to Cookham road and Ray Mill Island. The name is also used for the immediate surrounding area. The weir is one of the most popular whitewater freestyle kayaking areas on the River Thames, after Hurley Weir.
