The lock at Heybridge basin under going refurbishment and interesting to see just how deep these locks are.
Luckily this place had a pretty secure looking lock on the door. I'd hate to think what treasures could be behind it accessible to all otherwise.
The doors to this church were locked - I wanted to go in and try another fisheye cathedral shot during an assignment at the workshop I recently attended.
The doors were locked, so I decided to make a photo of them instead.

Teston Lock, near Maidstone, Kent.
Teston Lock on the River Medway in Kent was 100years old and showing its age. The Environment Agency who are the navigation Authority for the River Medway decided that the lock was in serious need of refurbishment, this work is due for completion in autumn of 2013. The lock has only recently (August 2013) been fully reopened.

Water levels have dropped a little on the Thames now, though still high. This is the exit to Molesey Lock, opposite Hampton Court Palace, even as yet another shower clears away. There is still very little difference between the heights above and below the lock.

The Yale lock on my front door has been sticking a bit so I squirted some WD 40 on it. I had to buy a new can. I first heard about it when I was doing a car maintenance evening class when I was learning to drive in 1965. It's so long since I bought one that I'd not seen one with the captive red tube.
Canal Lock 58 at Ratcliffe on Soar, Nottinghamshire with Ratcliffe on Soar Power Station in the background.
The water in the foreground is overflowing from the canal to the right of me, rushing down towards the river Soar in front and flooding the river bank which normally sits between the canal and the river (waders were required:)
I've been back since and the flood waters have drained... Fun while it lasted!
the lock reopened towards the end of March. The inside has been completely re-done but the original wooden gates are still
there.
At the end of the Stourbridge canal where it joins the Staffs & Worcs canal. When the pictures were taken work was suspended I guess due to the poor weather.
Saw this bright shiny lock on a water pump as I was walking by and figured it was an interesting opportunity for a macro shot. This is at 250mm, but I'm also right against the lock; F6, 0 ev, 1/50th of a second with a polarizing filter on. Shot with a Nikon D5000, no flash, in noon sun under cloudy skies.
Cheatham Lock & Dam is downstream from Ashland City along the Cumberland River in Cheatham County.
From the US Army Corps of Engineers website:
www.lrn.usace.army.mil/Locations/NavigationLocks/Cumberla...
Cheatham Lock is located at Mile 148.6 on the Cumberland River in Cheatham County, Tennessee and is approximately 10 miles northwest of Ashland City, Tenn. Cheatham Lock is open to pass navigation traffic 24 hours-a-day, 365 days a year.
The 67-mile reservoir created by Cheatham Dam provides Nashville and middle Tennessee with a stable water supply and access to the entire Mississippi River system and the Intracoastal Waterway and plays an integral part in various commodities being transported to the region by water.
Cheatham Lock and Dam was authorized by Congress in 1946 as a navigation project to enhance the development of the Cumberland River Basin. Construction on the Lock was begun in 1949. Cheatham Lock was opened to navigation traffic on August of 1951. The lock chamber is 800-foot long and 110-foot wide. During normal lake levels, the lock will lift a boat 26-foot from the river below the dam to the lake above the dam. The lock releases over 17 million gallons of water each time is emptied.
Due to geological conditions in the area, the site selected for construction presented unique challenges on designing the project. This is the only lock in the Nashville District that was designed to flood; the lock walls had to be built according to the elevations of the surrounding land. Thus, create a design so that flood waters could flow over the structure with minimal damage when waters receded.
The lock has been submerged on several occasions, but the historical record-breaking flood of May 2010 submerged the lock and operations building in water almost fifteen feet deep. This far exceeded the designed limits for the structure and caused the Nashville District to perform a complete electrical overhaul and hydraulic rehab of the lock. Temporary repairs and clean-up were made and the lock was able to reopen to navigation traffic under restricted operation approximately 14 days after the waters receded. It was the middle of June 2010 before the lock returned to 24 hour operations.
