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
The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

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.

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.
"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.

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.
