It was a busy day at the office; I was training people all day. There's nothing like a day of training people to remind yourself what your weakness are when it comes to the job.

 

Lots of questions and some had to go unanswered, but that's okay because I'll figure out the answers and share the knowledge tomorrow.

 

I find training people to be exhausting but it's also a great way to figure out what I need to work on, and where to build.

 

I believe it was Albert Einstein who said "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." and I agree with this line of thought and strive to follow it when it comes to teaching people.

 

Hope everyone has had a good day.

Garston Lock sits on the Kennet & Avon canal (or more correctly, the river Kennet navigation) just outside Reading. It was built around 1718 - 1723 by engineer John Hore of Newbury, and is now a scheduled ancient monument. Garston Lock is one of only two remaining turf-sided locks on the Kennet and Avon canal, the other being Monkey Marsh lock at Thatcham. Early locks were often turf-sided as they were quicker and cheaper to build than a full masonry construction, but were eventually superseded by brick sided locks, due to various problems with the turf-sided variety.

One more for the collection. This with a lo-fi filter.

A locked portal is one of the oldest ways of keeping an area safe and secure. This lock has been guarding the north-east entrance to a silk factory long after it has been abandoned and forgotten.

A freighter passing through Miraflores Lock, Panama Canal, Panama.

 

Only small crafts are allowed to pass through the locks unassisted. Larger craft are guided by electric towing locomotives, which operate on cog tracks on the lock walls and serve to keep the ships centred in the lock.

 

Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. It is much appreciated.

I have often thought that there was a photograph to be made out of the large wooden gates that form the entrance to the Beeston Canal from the River Trent. I felt that a slightly high key treatment might show off the weathered wood and its associated ironwork at it's most attractive from a photographic point of view. After all, they are only functional wooden gates that most normal members of the general public might never look twice at. But as photographers we see the world through photographic eyes and the word 'normal' could never apply to us!

I found this rusty lock on a chain that was wrapped around an elder tree at Parvin State Park. I don't know why the chain was around the tree.

We seem to find a lot of locked things in our travels out and about. This particular lock was on a utility type building at a community center where we ate our lunch. It was Sunday and all the buildings were locked but there were a couple of nice pavilions where the breeze cooled us a bit as we ate. Today we are headed out once more to see what we can see and hopefully some locks will be missing so we can peek inside! LOL

I picked my favorite bag (handmade in Crete) for this weeks Macro theme. It has an imperfection on the lock button.

A vintage Awan lock and key. These were apparently used in maritime operations, but other than that, I do not know much about this lock. Taken with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm 3.5 on an extension tube.
