The title on the Russian site devoted to SPG is – Rafts on the [Catherine] Canal: city of Shlisselburg.
A little poking around on the internet reveals that this is unlikely to be the Catherine canal (which runs between the Volkhov and Syas rivers, says Wikipedia), and is more likely the Peter Canal, that is the section built during the time of Peter the Great. That section of the canal had two locks, one of which we can see in the background, along with boats waiting to enter. You can find this locale on Google Earth, in "street view," much changed of course, where the Russian label tells us it is part of the Marinskii waterway, which is true, but only in a general sense. You can see on Google Earth too, that, over the years, the canal has silted up and filled in, and in places has actually been narrowed by builders needed good footings for their constructions. Another page I found said that the stonework we see on the locks and banks dates from the time of the canal's original construction (late 1720s) another that it dates from repairs and renovations done in 1836; the Wikipedia article doesn't note any work done in the 1830s, so my guess is that this stonework – which still endures, and looks to be in pretty good shape – is the same built by battalions of Peter's soldiers in the eighteenth century.
Note, in the right background, two huge stacks of logs, as high as the buildings next to them, and just as long, a truly immense stockpile. I wonder whether the logs in the foreground are about to join one of those huge piles (likely) or whether they have been taken from the piles (less likely). My guess would be that they are piled up there until they can be loaded on a transport and taken to a mill that is closer to a larger population centre, but that is speculation on my part.
This was a difficult shot to register because the logs moved around on the water as SPG took his three shots. People in the background moved; boats lining up to get into the lock moved; and one of the two fellows in the foreground took a quick look around to see if SPG was finished yet. So I had to do a lot of piece by piece compositing of sections of the shot to get everything to more or less line up. Lots of figures in the middle distance and in the faraway existed only as coloured blobs on one plate or another, so in several cases, I simply erased those partial figures from the shot. A red colour cast at the bottom of the shot proved more problematic, but I have reduced it as much as I can.
Update, 2014: I've gone over the shot one more time, trying to reduce the purple tones, to adjust the contrast on the logs, and reduce some of the fringing on the cloud images reflected in the water. I think, for now, this is the best I can do.
Update, 2024: Another revision, courtesy of Photoshop's updated tools, particularly using the Camera Raw filter.

Located near the Susquehanna River and the Mouth of Swatara Creek. Middletown was founded in 1755. The early maps of Pennsylvania show that the area of land now called Middletown was "A Susquehannock Indian Town" (1715). When Middletown was laid out in 1755, some lodges of the Conoy or Ganawese Indians were located on the ground in the area bounded by Pine, Spruce, Main, and High Streets. These two tribes were "remnants" of the once-powerful Susquehannock Nation. Near the mouth of the Swatara Creek, a rough Irishman named "Anderson" claimed 423 acres on the Susquehanna River. This claim dates back at least to 1728. Jacob Job, a Philadelphia merchant, acquired the rights to the Anderson claim in 1732. It has been estimated that by 1750 there were about 200 Scotch-Irish families in the vicinity of Middletown, which was then in Paxtang Township of Lancaster County. Middletown, the oldest town in Dauphin County, was laid out thirty years before Harrisburg and seven years before Hummelstown. Due to its location for trade, both by land and by water, the town grew rapidly for at least a century and a half. Prior to 1729, this area was a part of Chester County. In 1729, Lancaster County was formed, and on March 4, 1785, Dauphin County was formed. Middletown was a "Post Town" and so named because of its location midway between Lancaster and Carlisle, along the old Stage Coach Road laid out in 1736. Middletown is noted in colonial records as being a supply depot for the Revolutionary Armies. Many small boats for General Sullivan's army were built here and his troops were supplied with provisions from local farms. The Swatara Ferry House (Old Fort) is reported to have housed Hessian prisoners during the Revolution. This building here is "The Swatara Ferry House/Old Fort", and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Stacked up out by the back porch waits a load of logs waiting to warm you on a cool night. Might even be waiting to cook you a batch of smores.

3002 (LOG 302)
Daimler CLG5/Metro-Cammell H30/25R
Preserved, ex Birmingham Corporation
Aston Manor Road Transport Museum, 30 May 2011
Although it looks to be a standard Birmingham Daimler, 3002 is actually a unique lightweight CLG5 model. The chrome-plated chassis was exhibited at the 1952 Commercial Motor Show and it reappeared two years later as a complete vehicle. The body was to Birmingham's usual outline but made extensive use of pop-riveted aluminium in place of wood and acted as a prototype for the subsequent Orion bodies. It spent its whole working life at Acocks Green garage but was unpopular due to its underpowered Gardner 5LW engine.
