I have been eyeing this lock for a few months now and I finally took the time to bring my camera downtown with me to take a picture of it. I had to wait until about noon for the sun to make it to the middle of the sky. The light has just begun to hit the handle of this bar that secures the door which to me looks like a cross. The door and the bolts and iron that hold it together looked rusty but still seems solid and secure. The door and it's details are rough and weathered but right next to it and almost encroaching into the doors "personal space" is this lush plant that has consumed the entire wall. I took the picture from a few different perspectives but decided on one that looked up at the lock. It is like something that we are striving for in life but we are not quite able to grasp or get through yet. In this case maybe it can be viewed as a relationship with God. He is the Light and the way to Eternal Salvation but sometimes we get too busy with our lives to remember this. Anyway, I took this with my 40D with my 28-300L lens @ 28mm f8 shutter speed 1/25. I touched up the picture in PhotoShop by playing with the color and contrast. I didn't really know what I was doing so I fiddled with each until I liked the colors. Anyway, I hope to see some other pictures on here soon.

Here you get a good view of all the debris thats just thrown in front of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 58 in Newark, NY.Unfortunately a scrap metal company uses this site. A group of volunteers in Newark made an effort to clean the site up this past summer and they did a darn good job but there's nothing they can do if the scrap metal company persists in messing up the site. Why they can't at least store their stuff off to the side is beyond me..... Located off Route 31 on Lyons Street in Newark, NY.

I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free

This is the partly buried but still visible south chamber of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 59 in Newark, NY. Built in 1841, it started out as a single chamber lock with the second chamber being built in 1874. Located near Barge Lock 28-B on North Clinton Street.
Saw a guy dancing randomly in an old animal costume on a country road near a warehouse and it scared us....

the reach of potential drive-by mail thefts and vandals. The
Mail Safe mailbox can keep your mail dry and

At the Double Locks
The double locks (locks wide enough to take in two boats side-by-side) were added in 1701 when the 3 previous pound gates were removed.
Taken along the Exeter Ship Canal
The Exeter Canal was the first pound lock canal in the country. In 1564-6 John Trew of Glamorgan cut a 13/4 mile channel to by-pass shallows on the River Exe which prevented boats from reaching Exeter. The canal was only 16ft wide and 3ft deep. It was often impassable with the result that many merchants preferred to unload their goods at Topsham and bring them to Exeter by road
In 1676 the canal was extended to Topsham and in 1698-1701 it was further straightened and enlarged to 50ft wide and 10ft deep to accommodate ships.
The canal was extended to Turf in 1827, where it could be reached by ships at all states of the tide. The Canal Basin was opened in 1830 as an alternative to the river Quay. The fine Victorian warehouses on The Quay were built in 1835
The city's prosperity from the late Middle Ages to the end of the 18th century was based on the woollen industry and trade with Europe. For several centuries Exeter was one of the largest and richest towns in England. When Daniel Defoe visited the city in 1714 he wrote 'Exeter is large, rich, beautiful, populous, and was once a very strong city'.
During the Napoleonic wars (1793-1815) trade with Europe ceased. By the time peace was restored the centre of the textile manufacturing had shifted to the northern industrial towns and the Devon woollen industry never regained its former importance.
