Lock and Dam 5 on the Upper Mississippi River in Minnesota City, Minn., has been dewatered this winter to allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, to complete major maintenance work on it. Each St. Paul District lock chamber is dewatered every 15 to 20 years for this major maintenance. Lock and Dam 5 was last dewatered in 1990. --Photo by Shannon Bauer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

apparently the factory locks on this car are no longer working. i was on my way to work so i didn't go check the other side to see how that door is locked. maybe it will still be there on my way home.
This morgue has always fascinated me. It's old - a mix of bricks and iron and built into the side of the hill facing the lake. I love the texture of it.
In fact, if I must confess, I've been known to take senior photos against the brick of it....it's that cool.
Today when I was walking past was the first time I've ever felt a little squeamish about it - I've been walking here for well over 10 years so it took me off guard. I noticed then that the door was far more ajar than I've ever seen it - enough to get a bit of a peek inside
I shudder as I type....
As we entered the Miraflores Lock, you could see all of the equipment for the lock, as well as the dam that works with the lock there.

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.
Whinhill Lock was built between the village of Wansford and town of Driffield, as part of the Driffield Navigation in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The lock was built during the construction of the Driffield Navigation between 1767 and 1770, and is a grade II listed structure. After the last traffic to Driffield stopped around 1945 the lock gradually fell into disrepair. In 1968 the Driffield Navigation Amenities Association started to restore and maintain the canal and its structures. Various "working parties" have been held at the lock over the years, to conserve the structure, but in 2004 a lottery grant was secured to restore and re-gate it.
The lock was reopened by the Mayor of Driffield Mrs Margaret Killin on 25 June 2005.

Victoria Lock
Named in honour of Queen Victoria this impressive lock, 220 feet long and 50 feet wide, is the first lock on the Newry Ship Canal. Built by William Dargan under the supervision of Sir John Rennie in the 1840’s it is entirely built with Newry Granite with a full set of working lock gates, and associated chains, wheels and bollards. Victoria Lock was the entry point for large, see-going vessels to the Newry Canal from Carlingford lough through the Newry Canal.
