The road was built for the pedestrians. I guess, with time, there were vehicles which also plied too. So the administration built this barrier to reserve its usage for its original purpose, and all it needed was a small lock to preserve its objective.
Lock 40 of the Forth and Clyde Canal at Bowling harbour on the River Clyde. There are 39 locks on the canal. So how can this be Lock 40?
When I see a locked gate...am I locked out, or are they locked in? If they are locked in, should I be worried about who is behind the gate? If I am locked out, should I be insulted? Maybe it's best that I just take the photo and move on...
For Monday's Photo Challenge, anything goes. This is the last in the Baker Hotel series. Who knows what mysteries might still be found in this haunted hotel located in Mineral Wells, TX. To see more of the Photo Challenges and Thursday Retreads, check out this link...
There's a special atmosphere all around Camden Road and Camden Lock, with heaps of shops and markets in the area.
A while ago we went for a hike at Nationaal Park Drents Friese Wold
This is a nature reserve covering parts of the border region in the provinces Drenthe and Friesland.
It covers over 6,000 hectares with forest, heathland, shifting sands and dunes and brook valley grasslands.
Storm Ciara was getting close and would be arriving that weekend on the sunday, so decided to go on saturday, the weather was not that great, many clouds and a few drops of rain.
Followed one of the many nice trails that start from Buitencentrum Drents-Friese Wold.
As we do almost every time we took some of our analog gear with us.
As usual one of our Canon Eos 3 cameras was used.
Decided to use some of the Fujifilm Acros 100. We still have some of the original version in stock right now, but only a few rolls are left.
With an expiry date 10-2019 it's still in a good condition an produces good results.
These rolls are from the last batch they produced before canceling it.
Developing is as always done with our Caffenol recipe, Caffenol-C-L at 23c and stand developing for 55 minutes
But this time a bit higher temperature because wanted to compensate for shooting this at EI200 (200 ISO)
18.2.2017. After being derelict for years, the Lock Keepers cottage at Forest Lock on the Chesterfield Canal has been done up and is now inhabited once again.
In Korakuen amusement park there is this wall where young couples can attach locks as a symbol of their affection for each other. I've seen similar things like this in other countries but it amuses me that the symbol of a lock may conjure up a different image when they have been married for ten years. Maybe I'm just being cynical :)
Off to Guam in the morning so won't be posting commenting for about a week but will make up for it when I get back.
By the way, the latest beta of Photomatix rocks. No more converting to TIFF for my Canon 5D MKII raw files.
Explored July 11th
... on the Rochdale Canal in Littleborough, a scene I first shot and posted in December 2018 when the sky was a clear blue.
The reflection this time is equally as good but the cumulus clouds have enhanced the image still further.
Another 590nm infrared image from the River Wey near Triggs Lock in Surrey.
This is from a set of 6 hand-held images which have been aligned and stacked, then a mean pixel value composite produced from the stack to combine them into a single frame. This has the effect of reducing noise by about 2.5 stops, so this gives roughly the equivalent of ISO 30 noise levels.
This was taken with a full spectrum converted Lumix DMC-G1 with a 590nm filter on the lens.
Back to black and white.
Najland entering the Kiel Canal from the Great North Lock at Holtenau the other morning about 5am, there wasn't much else stirring apart from the sound of the dawn chorus.
As of 5:00am on January 5th, Southern Railway of BC locked their employees out after the membership overwhelmingly rejected the company's "final offer" last week. A number of concerns were raised over the contract, including the excessive amount of overtime worked and the fatigue it causes on employees working in a safety critical position. Pictured here, a group of CUPE 7000 members picket near SRY's Trapp Yard located in New Westminster, BC.
