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
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.
"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.

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
Insegnatemela Voi la gestione del Tempo...
Io che ora ho sposato un solo lavoro e ho il week end libero...
Io che mi trovo ad accendere la tv e scopro che escono immagini e non bastava solo spoloverarla...
Io che scopro di avere di una cucina funzionale e mangio come non ci fosse un domani...
Io che affondo nel piumone perchè non c'è più la sveglia...
Io che sballonzolo tra una stanza e l'altra nei miei momenti di noia...
"Forse soffrirò di nostalgia"
Always a great place to take a photograph of the sunset. The reflections and the trees make the place.
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.

Le canal de la Martinière longe la rive sud de l'Estuaire de la Loire en s'éloignant au maximum de 5 à 6 kilomètres du fleuve. La longueur du canal est d'environ 15 kilomètres. Après 10 ans de travaux, avec des machines et du matériel ayant servi à la construction du canal de Suez, le canal est mis en activité en 1892. Le canal de la Martinière est fermé par trois écluses : l’écluses de la Martinière (à l'est), du Carnet (à l'ouest) et des Champs-Neufs à mi-chemin du canal. Durant 20 ans, jusqu’en 1913, le canal connaît une intense période d'activité. Ensuite la batellerie fluviale y circule jusqu'en 1943. Il devient un cimetière des grands voiliers entre 1921 et 1927. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les Allemands l'occupent, puis les Américains, de 1957 à 1967, y stockeront du matériel de l'OTAN. Le canal maritime est fermé à la navigation en 1959. Dans les années 1960, grâce à plusieurs aménagements, notamment les vannes de la Martinière, de Buzay et du Carnet, le canal devient l'outil de régulation hydraulique du Pays de Retz.
