Para cada cerradura hay una llave y cada llave fué hecha para una cerradura en especial. Las hay llaves maestras que abren varias cerraduras, pero aún así, fueron hechas con un patrón en particular. Nosotros somos candados y llaves a la vez, abrimos los candados de otros y otros abren los nuestros. A veces abrimos el candado de alguien y dentro de su encierro florece la llave que abre el nuestro.
Nada está totalmente oculto ni encerrado, sólo hay que caminar más lento y prestar atención.
This view shows a section of the Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 61 (Upper Macedon Lock) which was built in 1862. This is the north chamber, looking southeast.. This chamber is used as a spillway for Lock 30 of the modern Erie Barge Canal so there is fast running water moving through it. It is a double chamber lock. It was referred to as the Upper Lock, as there were two Enlarged Erie Canal locks in Macedon at that point in time. It is not maintained so due to all the brush and assorted greenery it is difficult to see . It is located off of Route 31 on Route 31 F/ 350 in the village of Macedon across the road from Erie Barge Canal Lock 30.
Yeah I look like I know what I'm doing, but the round fell out of the barrel as I was closing it. Apparently I forgot about GRAVITY!
The hardware for the nook porch door is substantial. Unfortunately, it's stuck in the locked position, so it has gone to the Lock Doctor

Hope you all have a lovely weekend:)

A trip to the Gyoza City
A lock on one of the gates of a Mapuche community. It is a testament to the repressed lifestyle that they are destined to lead until changes are made.
Abingdon Lock's history is as fascinating as it gets. There are remains of an lock constructed around 1624. It is the oldest surviving lock chamber in the UK, and possibly Europe.
This ancient lock - now acting as a weir - is near the top of the Swift Ditch, a meandering stream that by-passes the town of Abingdon to the south. You can still see the old brick chamber at the head of the Swift Ditch.
Today you can see big cruisers with flying bridges, Dutch barges and passenger steamers along with the popular narrow boats and small powered craft using the river. But in the 17th and 18th centuries, when the Thames formed a main trade route to and from London, you would be more likely to see horse-drawn and sailing barges carrying grain, timber and coal.
Lock Keeper
The Lock Keeper here is Roger Steere, who has lived in the Lock House since 1984. Roger and his wife, Gillian, agree that running this lock has been 'extremely rewarding.' A former programmer, Roger says, 'When I was in computers, I thought ,"there must be more to life than this" so I became a lock keeper'.
A life-long steam engine enthusiast, Roger spends much of his spare time in his workshop constructing working scale models of locomotives and traction engines.
This lock has been preserved in superficial working order since at least the 1970s. Even if it were working it would serve no purpose as about fifty yards further north the canal is culverted under Pentre Lane. Ironically, the locks between Pentre Lane and Ty Coch have been restored to working order even though the navigable stretch of the canal finishes about two miles further north at Five Locks, Pontnewydd, and the canal is culverted at Pentre Lane and Hollybush Way, isolating this section.
I visited Lock and Dam 14 in LeClaire, Iowa yesterday to photograph the eagles. I got there early, about 8 am. There wasn't much going on all morning - just a few eagles around, and most of them just sitting in trees with the occasional fly-over. I was trying to decide if it was worth hanging around longer when about 1:30 the guy with the fish showed up! With the toss of the first fish the show was on, with eagles flying in from all directions! Someone counted at least 14. So much fun - I love watching and photographing these magnificent birds in action!
