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)
A sunny late summer afternoon at Five Locks, Pontnewydd on the Mon and Brec Canal near Cwmbran. Perfect for a walk after a visit to lovely nearby Trio's Tea Room who celebrated their 7th birthday today.
This Lock is no 7 of the lower set of locks.Ahead are sixteen more locks.
Caen Hill Locks are a flight of locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal, between Rowde and Devizes in Wiltshire England.
The 29 locks have a rise of 237 feet in 2 miles or a 1 in 44 gradient. The locks come in three groups. The lower seven locks, Foxhangers Wharf Lock to Foxhangers Bridge Lock, are spread over 1.2 km. The next sixteen locks form a steep flight in a straight line up the hillside.
Many thanks for your visit and any comments will be most welcome.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
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
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
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.
