Locks and canals

Our second visit to this site on a bright warm Spring day, looking down through the many locks heading into Audlem (Cheshire)
At Audlem on the Shropshire Union canal there is a run of 15 locks descending into and through the village as you head north
Lock to lock...... Brookfoot to Cromwell locks on the Calder and Hebble Canal near Brighouse in West Yorkshire.
It looked like the Narrowboat was having a problem has they were 'reversing' to the Lock and on my way back and hour or so later they were only in the next lock along (half and mile or so)

Take care, my friend.
I have so many locks and keep them all in a little bag just in case they will be needed! Struggled to come up with a novel use for them all for the challenge today on Crazy Tuesday. This design suddenly came to me a little ago.
Not only is Paris the ‘city of lights’, but also the ‘city of love’. The evidence can be found on many of the bridges across the Seine River. A couple’s expression of love comes in the form of a lock which is attached to something and the key is then thrown away permanently. Why even on this handrail on the steps up to the hillside neighbourhood of Montmartre one can find these expressions of love.

"Locks of Love"
I headed down to the Town of Kansas Bridge near the Missouri River hoping to capture some sunset images from that vantage point. As usual, I got to my location quite early to find the best spots to set up. The observation deck holds literally hundreds “Locks of Love”. The placing of love locks is a custom whereby couples affix a padlock to a bridge, fence, gate or similar fixture so pronouncing their unbreakable and everlasting love. I was rewarded with some passing clouds and some magnificent streaks of light just before the sun went down.

Black and white re-edit of a shot from March 2019. A year that was peak street photography for me so far, thanks to the pandemic and my back, but hopefully I can pick up where I left of sometime in the future. I hope you are enjoying my re-edits and hidden archive shots in the meantime. Stay safe my Flickr friends.
When you join the Stourbridge & Birmingham Canal from the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal immediately you are into a flight of four locks .The locks and the four locks bridge take the canal under the busy A449 Wolverhampton to Kidderminster Road......i thought the light from under the bridge looking out was very nice
What Is a Love Lock?
A love lock is a padlock couples place on a bridge, fence, statue, or installation to commemorate their indestructible bond. Often the padlocks are engraved with the couple’s name and the date while others go further with ribbons and stickers.
The love lock tradition purportedly dates back to a Serbian World War One romance tale. Its popularity in recent years can, however, be traced to the 2006 best-selling Italian novel-turned-film, Ho Voglia di Te (“I Want You”) by Federico Moccia. In the book, a couple affixes a love lock to Rome’s Ponte Milvio bridge to declare their love unbreakable. Since then, enamoured sweethearts have been doing the same around the world.
The love locks at the Wynyard Quarter Silo Park are the only locks I've seen in NZ. While most around the world I've seen are along bridges, there is a fence that is full of love locks along the harbour in Auckland.
We had such strong wind in the last couple of days that most of the snow blew away, so that the fields are bare. Most of it blew until it filled in roads and then turned brown as gritters covered it. So I had to search hard this morning to find some white stuff in an interesting form. Fortunately I wandered towards the higher locks at Bosley to discover that where the snow had been blown off the fields it had curled over the top of the lock side creating a lovely overhang
The University Footbridge over the River Torrens that has increasingly become the place to declare eternal love with locks. I went hunting for my friends' love lock but alas there were too many.
Not sure why, but people are determined to leave locks attached to fences in the vicinity of the Golden Gate Bridge. However, removal of locks happens on a regular basis, along with removal of graffiti.
