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.

Another great textured and weathered door, this looks like it has been exposed to fire at some point.
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?

She's been getting used to her extreme heels but still can't manage a whole day walking around in them without needing to slip them off for a break every now and again.
She asks her husband to lock them on for the day whilst he goes to work and give her a list of chores that will keep her on her feet. As you can imagine her husband is only too happy to help out.
The arch of these shoes keeps her right on her toes and a slither of the ball of her foot.
