* When we visited Oxford we stayed in the village of Iffley it was a good choice it has a stunning Romanesque church and there are a number of historic buildings. It feels more like a village than a suburb of Oxford. Its possible to walk into Oxford along the banks of the River Thames it took us about 40 minutes from this Lock to walk into the centre of the city
Iffley Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England near the village of Iffley, Oxfordshire. It is on the southern outskirts of Oxford. The original lock was built by the Oxford-Burcot Commission in 1631 and the Thames Navigation Commission replaced this in 1793. The lock has a set of rollers to allow punts and rowing boats to be moved between the water levels.
In addition the lock and weir streams there is stream further to the east which used to be the Mill Stream.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

For Macro Mondays - Chain
The chain on our side gate. Each link is 3/4" long. More of a visual deterrent that I had to put on a couple of years ago after several neighbours said they had had someone in their back yards during the night.
Happy Macro Monday!
Lock Keeper's House, Lock 48, Rochdale Canal at Littleborough. (foot of the pennines, UK)
Here the Canal traverses the Pennine hills via a series of Locks, Leading eventually to Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire.
The Canal is 32 miles from Manchester to Sowerby Bridge.
When operating this lock at the Grand Union Canal in Watford you would notice two things: one, this is an extremely solid device and all hand-made. Two, you need a big steel handle and a lot of elbow grease to operate this lock. This is yesterday's technology, so forget about your mobile phone or your remote control. Photographically speaking, I had taken a small and very light camera (Fuji X-E3) and an even lighter all-rounder (pancake) lens when exploring Cassiobury Park in Watford where you have the River Gade and the Grand Union Canal in the centre. It was a surprise to myself that I found that my most interesting shots were not panoramas of the river or so, but these close-ups of human design.
The building in view is the lock keepers house at Bratch Locks nr Wombourne on the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal .The house is located next to the top lock in a flight of 3 locks......28-05-2016.......mid-afternoon on a beautiful still and warm late Spring day

Macro Mondays - Keyhole
Samsonite suitcase lock, measures 3/4". Image measures 2" on the long side. The lock is on top of a lavender container with holographic paper in the background. I used a small flashlight to light the keyhole.
Happy Macro Monday!
It’s wet outside once again, so delving into archives.
This was taken same morning as previous post, the frost had frozen the dew of the evening before. I was intrigued by the way which the air had been captured, locked into the water and the interesting shapes that they were too.
Thanks for stopping

Yesterday hubby and I took a lovely walk with Daisy Dog alongside a canal near our home which opens up onto the Blackwater Estuary, we walked to the Marina and had lunch and then walked back passing the quaint and beautiful Lock Keepers Cottage, simply so beautiful, hoping to have brought some of the beauty to this image, have a wonderful Sunday ~ KissThePixel2019
When visiting the lake in my hometown, Butner, N.C., I found myself locked out.
OK the real story is the road leading to the spillway was closed to vehicular traffic. I did enjoy the walk and the memories.
Along the way and during my trip from Calgary, AB to Sechelt, BC, I stopped for a few shots. This one is the pier located in Salmon Arm, BC. The water is covered in ice but gave a rather interesting and somewhat foggy look. In the mountains beyond, clouds played in the rolling hills as they dodged the mountain tops and skirted the the edges below.
