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.
An illustration I did earlier in the year for an article in a school publication about door lock safety in schools. Includes some touch-ups and recoloring.
Teddington Lock is a complex of three locks and a weir on the River Thames between Ham and Teddington in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England. It was first built in 1810.
The limit of legal powers between the Port of London Authority, the navigation authority downstream to the North Sea and that upstream to small headwaters of the river, the Environment Agency, is marked nearby by an obelisk on the Surrey bank. Teddington Weir marks the river's usual tidal limit and is the lowest on the Thames. This lock is the lowest full-tide lock and second lowest of all-tide locks on the Thames.
The complex of civil engineering consists of a large long weir and three locks: a conventional launch lock in regular use, a very large barge lock and a small skiff lock. The barge lock was made to accommodate long barges, steamers or passenger ferries and has an additional set of gates half-way to operate more quickly for shorter craft. The staggered structures incorporate two reinforced narrow islands. The upper island is traversed by and accessible by the lock gates or Teddington Lock Footbridge.
Two photos from Camden Lock, London, taken just outside the local Wetherspoons restaurant, The Ice Wharf.
I don't know much about the history apart from this: Named after the adjacent Ice Wharf – which was built in 1837 for ice imported from Norway. (Another tribute for my friend Knut, lol)
Hiked along the historic Hennepin canal yesterday heading west from Tiskilwa. It was a mostly overcast day which wasn't so good for photos, but made for a nice cool walk. Here is a photo of the restored gates on the east end of lock 16 at a moment of "almost" sunshine.

A 20 April 2020 view of the Lock Masters house and a White Dogwood tree on the shore of the Muskingum River between the former Armory and city Post Office in Marietta Ohio. The house is a last remaining hint of a lock and dam system built on the Muskingum river in the 1840's.

Playing around with the Lens baby spark. I like the effect it gives but it is so hard to hit the focus.
Access to the Holiday Inn at Ellesmere Port requires traversing this swing bridge over the canal lock into the docks. A notable feature is the pointless arc of brickwork on the floor beyond the balance beam and running behind the lamp.
