Rea steam tugs Throstlegarth and Rosegarth seen in Liverpool Langton Lock sometime in the late 'fifties or early 'sixties. locking out for a job somewhere on the River Mersey. Despite a love of all the older tugs which used to work on the Mersey, I suppose I have a soft spot for the Rea boats.

It is a Russian tradition that newly married couples kiss on a bridge on their wedding day. Because Moscow's day-to-day bridges are clogged with traffic and garbage, the city built a romantic pedestrian crossing over a canal by the Moscow River so couples could smooch in peace. In recent years, couples borrowed the Italian wedding day tradition of fastening a lock to the bridge and throwing the key into the river - to make sure that nobody else can find the key to one's beloved's heart, I was told by someone who had done it. Moscow officials removed the locks and added a "tree" - and then many "lock trees."

The Niagara River is a river that flows north from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. It forms part of the border between the province of Ontario in Canada (on the west) and the state of New York in the United States (on the east). There are differing theories as to the origin of the river's name. According to Iroquoian scholar Bruce Trigger, Niagara is derived from the name given to a branch of the locally residing native Neutral Confederacy, who are described as being called the Niagagarega people on several late-17th-century French maps of the area. According to George R. Stewart, it comes from the name of an Iroquois town called Ongniaahra, meaning "point of land cut in two".
The river, which is occasionally described as a strait, is about 58 kilometres (36 mi) long and includes Niagara Falls in its course. The falls have moved approximately 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) upstream from the Niagara Escarpment in the last 12,000 years, resulting in a gorge below the falls. Today, the diversion of the river for electrical generation has significantly reduced the rate of erosion.
Power plants on the river include the Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Power Stations (built in 1922 and 1954) on the Canadian side, and the Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant (built in 1961) on the American side. Together, they generate 4.4 gigawatts of electricity. The International Control Works, built in 1954, regulates the river flow. Ships on the Great Lakes use the Welland Canal, part of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, on the Canadian side of the river, to bypass Niagara Falls.
The total drop in elevation along the river is 99 metres (325 ft). The Niagara Gorge extends downstream from the Falls and includes the Niagara Whirlpool and another section of rapids.
The Niagara River also features two large islands and numerous smaller islands. Grand Island and Navy Island, the two largest islands, are on the American and Canadian sides of the river, respectively. Goat Island and the tiny Luna Island split Niagara Falls into its three sections, the Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and American Falls. Unity Island lies further upstream, alongside the city of Buffalo.
The Niagara River and its tributaries, Tonawanda Creek and the Welland River, formed part of the last section of the Erie Canal and Welland Canal. After leaving Lockport, New York, the Erie Canal proceeds southwest until it enters Tonawanda Creek. After entering the Niagara River, watercraft then proceed southward to the final lock, where a short section of the canal allows boats to avoid the turbulent shoal water at the river intake and enter Lake Erie.
The Welland Canals used the Welland River as a connection to the Niagara River south of the falls, allowing water traffic to safely re-enter the Niagara River and proceed to Lake Erie.

Lock and Dam #15 on the Mississippi River in Rock Island, IL. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers interpretive park ranger in 1993.
So here's the story... I'm a nighthawk... One night I was up until around 2 AM. As I was brought my dirty dishes to the kitchen before heading to bed, I heard some noise outside and discovered that there was a guy trying to wrestle my barbeque off the back step. Heh... The window was open so I yelled at him and he took off. So I chained it up with a bike lock until I could get to the hardware store for something better...
But the real reason I took the pic: Everyone else has a lock pic but me. At least mine has a story! :)

Trent Lock is the area of canal locks around the point where the River Soar (flowing northwards) meets the River Trent (at this point flowing east). Near this point two canals also meet the Trent - the Erewash Canal, coming south-east from Long Eaton, and the short Cranfleet Cut which provides a route for boats heading downstream on the Trent, avoiding a weir.
Rõ ràng có cái gì đó không bình thường trong cái làng xám màu này, nó toát ra từ các lò gốm nhỏ lô xô với những mảnh gốm vụn dẫn tới khuôn cửa mờ tối tuyệt vọng. Trên bức tường gạch dài đột ngột trổ những ô cửa nhỏ ẩn giấu đằng sau sự quan sát lạnh lùng. Bát Tràng
#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.
