While walking along the Crop Walk route today I noticed this nice dock, but with a locked gate to keep people off it. There are some legal concerns about who owns the water and how can they legally keep people out. Gets to be interesting debate!
Newbury Lock, with the Lock Stock and Barrel in the distance, on the left, and Newbury bridge visible just over the lock gates.
Shot on Fuji Astia 100. Highlights got blown out slightly, but I thought the composition was strong, so I've uploaded it anyway. Will have to have another go at this one...
Torksey Lock looking into the Fossdyke,two canal boats are in the lock, the barges on the left,are for the keels to unload into , to reduce the barges draught, then the lighter would be towed down the Fossdyke

saw a lot of animals of course, they were cute but seems like not everyone is happy with the fact, that they are locked in a little place, like this tiny pony (i understand them, i wouldnt be happy too..)
Some love for the Samyang 85mm F/1.4 manual focus lens. I just adore the colour and contrast this lens produces!
This is the lower end entrance to Lock 18 with the north chamber on the right and the half buried south chamber on the left. Lock 18 was a double chamber lock put into service in 1842. It was built largely of Amsterdam stone and was in service until about 1916. It was the last and highest lock in Cohoes. The south chamber is partially filled in. The Cohoes locks were never lengthened during the later enlargement. Lock 18 is on the National Historic Register and is located on North Mohawk Street across from Cohoes Falls.
Hardingswood Road crosses the Trent & Mersey Canal near Kidsgrove in this October 2008 scene. Part of Lock 41 can be seen in the foreground, marking the top of the Red Bull flight.
Lock in state of advanced disrepair. Unlike much of the Canal de Nantes a Brest, this short stretch in in ruins. It was actually really spooky standing in the bedding while imagining barges floating by. The canal was commissioned and built by Napoleon to circumvent the British naval blockade of Brittany. On certain stretches convict labour was used. The canal towpath has been made accessible to cyclists, which means Brittany can be traversed from east to west and vice versa with easy gradients over a distance of approximately 200km (125 miles).
someone worked at this lock (chaining my canoe to a tree) with rocks for quite a while before giving up & shifting attention to a friend's canoe chained to a slenderer tree, ultimately breaking the tree & making off with his boat.
surprisingly, despite their work that popped a widget out the side of the lock, deformed its shape & jangled the guts enough that its key no longer worked, it held – though i was later surprised to find that the shackle of "hardened steel" gave easily to my boltcutters.
Sydney is currently experiencing a boom in building along the Parramatta Road corridor. The NSW budget is in surplus and transport infrastructure and associated projects are booming.
