Day One Hundred and Ninety-Five: Project 365
This is part of my apartment's window lock. It's like a neat little optical illusion. Do you see a C or an F in this?
Detroit Derek took me to this wonderful place in Detroit. It's where they host the Theatre Bizarre. We ran into David and Miss Rabbit who told us it would be ok if we went in and took some photos of the place. Thanks to Derek for showing me this super cool carnival spot.
Drove up to Lock and Dam 14 to try my luck at photographing eagles. About 5 hours total driving for the day but was definitely worth the trip. Cant wait to go back next year.
My February 2008 Brockmoor and Amblecote outing included my first ever look at part of the Stourbridge Locks flight between Brierley Hill Road and Wordsley. Here we see the footbridge structure that accompanies lock 11 between the Dock General Store and Dadford's Wharf.
The narrow locks at Stourport provide one means of connecting the River Severn with the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, with there also being some adjacent broad locks allowing access for wide beam boats. Here we see Narrow Lock No. 1 as photographed in July 2008.
It's a tradition to go to the bridge in Old town and place a lock on the bridge on your wedding day. The key gets thrown in the river. Many of the locks are engraved with the couple's name and wedding date. The city regularly cuts off the locks because of the weight it places on the bridge.
The North Walsham and Dilham Canal, opened in 1826, was never a great success. From the size of this lock (at Ebridge Mill on the Happisburgh Road), it must have cost a king's ransom to build (by deepening and widening the River Ant) as the gradients may be among the steepest in Norfolk (North Walsham is on a hill).
It has been neglected since the early 20th century, and while it was partly drained in 1927 it's not clear whether it ever officially closed - indeed, from the Dilham (Broads) end it is still just about navigable for about a mile. The unusual width suggests it was designed with the local cargo and fishing boats, wide-bodied sailing 'Wherries', in mind. Very few of these are still seaworthy but some can still be found around East Anglia.
Around 1996, engineering and environmental studies agreed that at least 6 miles of the canal could be restored, and in 2008 a trust was formed with the sole intent of reviving the waterway, which would provide these towns with a navigable link to the Norfolk Broads. It's just possible that increased use of boats for leisure could see the canal start paying for itself, 100 years after it's demise. The North Walsham Canal Company is currently owned by Cubitt and Walker who also own the closed Mill here at Ebridge Lock.
As can be seen here, though the lock as already been cleared by volunteers with excavators, it doesn't take long for vegetation to re-establish itself. Restoring the waterway will take much time, patience and effort, and then it must continue to earn its keep if it is to remain a successful restoration project.
“Mail Safe”, the newest and
most innovative mailbox ever built.
This unit was designed and built by former letter carriers
with the latest customer security issues in mind. In a day of continuous mail theft from mailboxes, security is the utmost importance. We are introducing a new concept, the Mail Safe mailbox, which will allow customers the security and peace
of mind by being able to leave home without worrying over
the theft of incoming mail, end of month checks, critical medication or identity theft.
Customers may be able to leave on short vacations or
holidays without having to notify the Postal Service. This is
due to the large capacity of the locked holding bin beyond
the reach of potential drive-by mail thefts and vandals. The
Mail Safe mailbox can keep your mail dry and
It is constructed of high impact composite plastic
available in 6 granite colors with UV protection to prevent fading. This patent pending, two-piece design is very rugged and durable. It is resistant to impact from ball bats but will break away if struck by a motor vehicle.
At the low price of $219.99 (plus tax) and $35 shipping
and handling. The Mail Safe mailbox will provide you with years of mail security to ease your mind. It can also be an
asset to any home by providing a great first impression and enhancing curb appeal.

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.
