I went for a walk two weeks ago on the C and O canal at Seven Locks on the DC/Maryland border. This was taken with the Rollei mini digi toy camera of the Lock mechanism which is no longer functioning.
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.
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.

We had to depict several things, including the number 1947 in which our association was founded.

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.
This is a shot of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 59 in Newark, NY. Back when Newark was called Lockville this lock was referred to as the Upper Lock being that there were three locks, quite close to each other, in the village at that time. In the center you will notice the three openings which are the spillway entrances. These entrances got rid of any excess water and also regulated the water above the lock. To the left is the north chamber which you can walk about halfway down into before you encounter swampy conditions. As you can see, on the far right hand side, the south chamber is partially buried. Lock 59 was built in 1841 as a single chamber lock and became a double chamber lock in 1874 when the second chamber was added. It is located across from Erie Barge Lock 28-B on North Clinton Street in Newark, NY.
