[8/52] I found this padlock between others on a bridge parapet. people come there, put there lock on the bridge and throw the key into the water. on this way, they want to seal their love :) but this one looked like a locked heart for me. and the key for it lies in the water.....
this is of course another old shot, i still miss my camera, the same things as always...thank you for your comments yesterday, i was really confused because of these blogs and i'm still not sure. anyway, thanks, you really helped me (:

I have no date for this, from a strip of negs found in the drawer! It's Lockes Sidings at Normanton, with 31308 on a freight. I guess around 1979.
I always look into the Brighton Marina lock as I walk across each day. The contents of the water vary from day to day. There’s usually bits and pieces of plastics and debris and often the remains of oil on the water. Whether or not I photograph it is always dependent on the light and the reflections. Today I stopped to watch the colours of the oil and noticed that the rain was falling heavily and creating lovely dark circles contrasting with the colourful oil.

For a short time these bucks seemed to have their antlers locked, but came loose and separated. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Netham Lock
Netham Lock is the point at Netham in Bristol at which boats from the River Avon, acting as part of the Kennet and Avon Canal, gain access to Bristol's Floating Harbour.
Construction started in 1804 to build the tidal New Cut and divert the River Avon along the Feeder Canal to the harbour; a system designed and built by William Jessop and later improved by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
A weir carries the river into the New Cut and boats use the adjacent lock. High tides often pass over the weir, and the river is effectively tidal to the next lock upstream at Hanham. Some spring tides can also pass over the weir at Hanham, making the river tidal as far as Keynsham Lock.
Access to the harbour is only possible during the day when the lock keeper will open the gates unless the water level in the river between Netham and Hanham is above or below the level of the harbour.
The lock-keeper's cottage, built in the early nineteenth century, is a grade II listed building and has a plaque listing it as Bristol Docks building number 1.The floral displays around the cottage and on the banking have attracted praise.
Netham Lock and the weir form part of Bristol's flood defence mechanisms and it was announced in December 2008 that they would be upgraded as part of the £11 million City Docks Capital Project.

A second visit to Chester this morning to record 46100 "Royal Scot " crossing the Shropshire Union Canal at Northgate Locks on its way to Telford with another Locomotive Services special.
I'm so excited to post my first water shot! The water was super cold; I was shaking like crazy haha. But it was fun and adventurous.

It's a bit more sever processing than i'd usually do but I felt uping the contrast and clarity just added to the feeling of incident with the breaks on rather than it flowing with speed... do you think that works?

The trio of photos that I am posting today were taken during our October trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I had never taken a boat trip through locks before and I got to do so in Sault Sainte Marie. The experience was interesting and the day was a crisp, sunny Fall perfection.
I saw this example of "extreme fishing" on Lake Huron after we had gone through a lock. I can't imaging being this man if the weather turned rough, but I am sure that he is experienced. Yes, he WAS facing a set of rapids.
Last lock on the canal section of the Kennet & Avon..once through the lock you are on the River Avon..turn right and into Bath and Pultney weir..which is amazing from the bank but even more amazing if you go right up to it in the boat!..
turn left and a days journey down the River to Bristol floating Harbour..a great place to moor and explore the wonderful city of Brizzle...
Sadly did not make it to Bristol this year by boat as ran out of time due to various engine problems & breakdowns and have to be in Liverpool in July so are now just off up the Thames..
