Never can the innate power of a work be hidden or locked away. A work of art can be forgotten by time; it can be forbidden and rejected but the elemental will always prevail over the ephemeral -Stefan Zweig

Remains of Lock 25 of the Enlarged Erie Canal in Rotterdam Junction, New York. The 8 foot lift lock was built in 1848 and further enlarged in 1890.
This is a closer look at a section of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 31. This was a double chamber lock with a 6 foot lift. It was built around 1850 and later lengthened in 1888. This view is at the east end . It would be the south wall of the north chamber. Most of this lock is now located under Route 5S. The part that remains is right next to the highway ( Route 5S ) on the south side, just east of Sprakers. Pay attention, it's really easy to zoom right by it.
Grove Lock at Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire.
Went to Grove Lock to have a look around and get some tips for a forthcoming barge holiday, and met an old RAF colleague coming through on E=mc2, from our time at RAF Lyneham back in the 1990's!
It was great to reminisce over a beer before we all had to go our separate ways, two old Chiefs with our tales of old, a great way to spend an hour on a sunny afternoon.
Colourful garages & sheds in Atyrau, Republic of Kazakhstan.
Most residents in this area of the city live in tall apartment blocks - a lucky few will have stores such as this. Sometimes they are a hive of activity, but often they seem deserted - the metal doors firmly locked to deter any intruders.

Locking through Muskingum River Lock #2 at Devols Dam in Devola Ohio.
Throughout the history of the Northwest Territory and the early years of Ohio statehood, the Muskingum River was not easily navigated. In the spring the river would flood and uncertain currents made travel treacherous. During the summer months the opposite was true. Many times the water levels dropped to the point that river travel became impossible. Residents of southeastern Ohio were looking for a way to utilize the river and thought they had an opportunity when the Ohio legislature began discussion of a canal system for the state. Those people were disappointed when the Ohio and Erie Canal bypassed the Muskingum River. By lobbying the state legislature they were able to convince politicians that improvements on the Muskingum River would lead to improved traffic from the Ohio River into the state.
The new project was known as the Muskingum River Improvement. Construction began in 1836 and was completed in 1841. Improvements consisted of a system of eleven locks and dams that made the Muskingum River navigable from Marietta to a feeder canal south of Dresden Ohio that connected to the Ohio and Erie Canal. Residents were pleased as the river system now encouraged economic opportunity in the region. The Muskingum River had hand operated locks that were designed so a boat could pass through each lock in about fifteen minutes.
Make sure you lock the things you want to keep. Not quite sure why the thief cut through the spokes here - you have to take the wheel out via the hub anyway - perhaps the hub appealed?
Bedford Lock allows boats to bypass the nearby weir on the canalised part of the river and continue downstream..
