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

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.
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.

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.

Europe, Spain, Andalucia, Almeria, Centre, Art installation (slightly cut)
While processing the previous shot, I remembered that I captured another love lock shot some years ago, way down in southern Spain, in Almeria. It’s an art installation and an example of communal art. On the shiny structure in the middle is a fitting quote: “Es propio del amor si es verdadero, compendiar en un ser el munda entero” – “It is characteristic of love, if it is true, to summarize the entire world in one being” (Ramón de Campoamor).
This is number 43 of Andalucia (& Valencia) Summer 2018 and of course 1391 of Minimalism / explicit Graphism .
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.
View of old locks closing canal de la Martinière near Nantes - France
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.
