In my head I saw this differently, maybe I had my shutter open for too long cause it was just that dark. For even in the deep freeze of an ice castle, light is uncommon.
I got this towards the end of my visit at Silverthorne (this is probably the third shot in a row from here that I've said that, what can I say? The second half of the night was more productive) I came across this igloo-like circular room with the frosty hallways continuing on either side. I had a common problem in most of these shots that I simply did not have enough light and I wasn't allowed to use a tripod. Which again, pardon the slight motion blur, I had to risk a longer exposure so I could get the light I needed. I sat against one of the walls and shot this handheld.
So obviously this problem needed to be addressed in editing, a clarity adjustment on the whole image and adjusted light and darkness in their appropriate places. The doorways on opposite sides shrouded the middle of the snow and the... whatever is shining light through the ice shining brighter than before. It's not perfect quality but I love the composition. I still got a lot more to pump out from this location.
The bottom lock at Braunston is part of the Braunston Lock Flight, a series of six locks on the Grand Union Canal in Braunston, Northamptonshire. These locks help boats navigate a 35-foot rise in elevation as they move between the lower and upper sections of the canal. The bottom lock is the first lock encountered when heading uphill toward Braunston Tunnel. It’s a busy spot, especially during summer, as Braunston is a major junction where the Grand Union and Oxford Canals meet. The lock is surrounded by charming countryside, making it a favourite among boaters and walkers.

What do you see? An object on its side left to right, or an object tilting up right to left?

We miss our annual spring visit to the east Columbia River Gorge wildflowers but they will be there waiting for us next year. Lupine and balsamroot.
This is a shot of a lock keepers cottage on the canal, near to Wistow Park, the small gate on the left is a right of way footpath down to the canal. The original cottage has been modified quite considerably.
Thank you for visits, faves and kind words.

Came across this photograph of Newbury Lock from last year. Nothing special about it but I do recall it was a lovely warm summer day and we could do with some of those right now!
The lock is located in the centre of Newbury and was built in 1796 as part of a project to link the town by canal to the western city of Bath.
Today the waterway is used mainly by small boat users for pleasure purposes and provides access to beautiful countryside and wildlife. It also provides towpaths for walkers for most of its length.
A view from the end of Ferry Road at Teddington Lock, looking towards the suspension footbridge which opened in 1889.
The nearby weir marks the river's usual tidal limit and is the lowest on the Thames.
Quite a nice mix of stuff here, the scene and area were new to me. There's an old gas-holder frame in the back right, water, a lock etc, all quite fun to see.

"The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear."
― Stephen King
