Boulter's Lock is a lock and weir on the River Thames in England on the eastern side of Maidenhead (formerly in Cookham) Berkshire. The lock is on the western side of the river between the main (A4094) Maidenhead to Cookham road and Ray Mill Island. The name is also used for the immediate surrounding area. The weir is one of the most popular whitewater freestyle kayaking areas on the River Thames, after Hurley Weir.
Built in 1925, this was one of around 50 dams that ran along the Ohio. They were designed and ran by the government.
I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out;
and I thought how it is worse, perhaps,
to be locked in.
Virginia Woolf
The door lock in this photo looks secretive with its eyes glancing toward its side and its locked lips. This image utilizes symmetrical balance because even though it isn't perfectly symmetric when split down the middle, it appears symmetrical due to the spacing between the two eyes. Also the rusted split in the wall is balanced out by the rusty bolt below the face's mouth, ensuing that the viewers attention is equally divided in the picture.
