Active Assignment Weekly December 1 - 8: Unexpected Beauty
WIT: I love rust and chains, which I think look cool in photographs. This was a lock and chain on a shed by my house. Sharpened and desaturated and cropped to 8 by 10.

Bell Weir Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England situated on the Surrey bank near Egham. It is just upstream of the M25 Runnymede Bridge which carries the M25 and A30 road across the river. The lock was first built by the Thames Navigation Commission in 1817.
Ford Dam, officially known as Lock and Dam No. 1 is on the Upper Mississippi River and is located between Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The dam portion (seen here) was previously owned by the Ford Motor Company, which operated this hydroelectric power station to feed electricity to its Twin Cities Assembly Plant on the east side of the river (which is now closed). It was sold to Brookfield Power Co. in 2007.
The dual-lock facility is operated by the St. Paul district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Mississippi Valley Division.
The first facility at the site went into operation in 1917. The facility was rebuilt in 1929, and an expansion from one lock to two locks was completed in 1932.
Major rehabilitation efforts were carried out between 1978 and 1983, including the replacement of many manual and hydraulic components with computer controls.
The eastern portion of the site consists of an overflow Ambursen dam, which is a buttress dam where the upstream part is a relatively thin flat slab usually made of reinforced concrete. There is an inflatable section on top of the dam that can slightly increase its size when so desired.
When the facility opened, it assured a navigable channel up to the tail end of Saint Anthony Falls upriver in Minneapolis. Additional locks were added there in the 1960s, extending the head of navigation to the northern part of the city. A dam in Coon Rapids (without any lock) prevents travel any further to the north.
See where this picture was taken. [?]
Originally one storey in height, the watch house was Balmain’s first police lock-up. As Balmain grew rapidly, the need for local police and cells to detain short term prisoners increased.
In 1854 the Balmain Watch House was built. Well known colonial architect, Edmund Blackett, Architect of the University of Sydney, and his clerk of works, James Charles White were involved in the construction.The Watch House was threatened with demolition in the mid 1960s. Its poor condition was the catalyst for the formation of the Balmain Association, who have subsequently undertaken repair and restoration works to the building
The Littlefee body is definitely best at this sort of pose due to the locking bit on the torso, However, with a little bit of effort with some glue sueding or something, I think I could get the Impldoll body to hold this position better too.

Before we can take a close look at the lock itself, we first pass the house of the lock keeper. He's at work in the shed behind me and doesn't seem to notice me. His house is beautiful though; it's built in a traditional brick style, is very well maintained well and looks in top condition.
The weather is also excellent today: sunny yet not too hot. It's perfect for a relaxed fun girlie stroll outside and I'm having a wonderful time.
