At one end of Port Canaveral is the Canaveral Lock. It is the largest navigational lock in Florida and is located between Port Canaveral's west turning basin and the Banana River. It was constructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1965 and is designed to secure safe passage of vessels from the Banana River to Port Canaveral and the Atlantic Ocean. The lock reduces tidal current velocities in Canaveral Harbor, prevents entry of hurricane tides into the Banana River and prevents salt water intrusion. The lock was built larger than originally planned to allow passage of the Saturn rocket's first stage, used to put the Apollo rockets into space.
(How cool would that be to see?? A rocket rolling down the river!!)
While we watched, a manatee swam around and stuck its nose out of the water, obviously hoping someone would feed it!! Then this barge and tug chugged by. They got almost to the end of the lock, tied up - what you see here - and waited for the gate to open and allow them to head out into the open waters of the river.
#1922 - 2013 Day 95: Love the copper tarnish to this padlock in Steyning. I feel as if I've been locked away in the office this week and last, with no escape from a couple of pressing work deadlines. The reality is not quite that, but feelings are unarguable.
Should be able to find a little more time to interact with my Flickr friends this week I hope. Looking forward to that.
The changing rooms at the Badanstalt (one of the swimming pools in Luxembourg City) have two doors (one in to the room and one out to the lockers). How can you lock both of these doors at once so that you wouldn't forget one door?
Well, the system is quite simple: Don't have the lock in the door knob, but near the bench and have it as a two levers (one near each door) that are connected to each other below the bench. As with regular locks, you see "red" from the outside when somebody flipped the lever.
52 in 2018 Challenge: 35. Lock(s).
This is a canal lock in Wolverhampton, UK. When I saw this challenge, I thought canal lock rather than lock and key. It was before dawn when this was taken. Using on-camera flash has helped to make it stand out from its surroundings.
Minolta CLE
M-Rokkor 40mm f2
Ferrania P30
Rodinal 1+50
Reflecta RPS7200
First roll with the new Ferrania P30! Yay!
The film is characterised by biting, almost too extreme contrast when developing using the best practices recipe for Rodinal 1+50. That should probably be toned down a bit. Looks very very nice though, ultra fine grain and biting sharpness and contrast.
