Fourteen Locks, Cwm Lane, Rogerstone, Newport, Monmouthshire
Lock Gate and canal pond at Fourteen Locks Canal Centre is located at the top of a unique flight of 14 locks, the Cefn Flight of Locks, an engineering wonder of the Industrial Revolution, rising 160 feet in just half a mile.
Today has been rough. Damon Locks is amazing, though, and has really promoted Black Culture in the Arts in Chicago. If you celebrate Juneteenth, he's a great human to listen to and relish in (today and every day!). A creative and genuine soul who is the head of the Black Monument Ensemble. Seeing him recently at Bric a Brac was like being caught in a weird and wondrous time space continuum. He creates some amazing visual arts too! Basically, an incredible human to cherish! Chicago is lucky to hold him so dear!

I seem to be in a rut of local sunset views at the moment! This is the view from the locks by The Mill at Condor Green looking due West towards Glasson Dock.
I had a plan to get this shot a little earlier in the Year when the setting sun is fully aligned with the canal, but the weather never seemed to play ball! So thats a plan that will have to wait.
Anyway, this is a branch of the Lancaster Canal that gives access to the Sea at the small Port of Glasson. I like the small copse of Beech trees by the White House on the left, but wasn't too sure about the lady dog walker heading through the Car Park on the right! However, I decided to let her remain in shot!
for Crazy Tuesday
I know I have interpreted the theme differently, but I don't see anywhere in the discussions that says the locks must be of the metal, security kind. I hope you will accept my granddaughter beautiful locks as acceptable to the theme today.
Downtown Ottawa, Canada, looking at the Locks that open up into the Rideau River. You could also see the Gatineau Hills across the river on the Quebec side. Parliament Hill is seen on the left.
Foxton Locks are on the Grand Union Canal's Leicester Arm, just outside Market Harborough. The two staircases, both comprising five locks, were constructed in 1814. Here we are looking across one of the balancing ponds towards the old lock-keeper's cottage, which is by the top lock. The cottage and the adjacent former stables to the left (the orange brick building) have now been converted into a tea-room.
A Misty frosty morning at the locks at Combe Hay on the old Somersetshire coal canal which was closed in 1898.
Crusing along the Grand Canal as the barge Cadhla meanders up to the lock at Herbert Place on an evening private party.
Having been mothballed for the past two years due to the covid pandemic, the Cadhla barge is cruising again during summer 2022, usually weekend evening runs, offering food, drinks & some amazing views at a slower pace.
The triple-step Gatun Locks on the Panama Canal near Colón, Panama, lift ships 25.9 meters from the Atlantic Ocean to Gatun Lake.
Usti nad Labem offers a wide variety of interesting photo angles. Here a CD Regional service to Lysa nad Labem passes the Elbe river Strekov locks with clean "Pershing" 162 065 leading.
Tardebigge Locks or the Tardebigge Flight is the longest flight of locks in the UK, comprising 30 narrow locks on a two-and-a-quarter-mile stretch of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal at Tardebigge, Worcestershire.
These are "Love Locks" fastened to the walking bridge at Harper's Ferry West Virginia shot in Black and White. This bridge spans the Potomac river right where it merges with the Shenandoah river. What's scary about it: It runs smack dab up next to the train tracks! So even though there is a high wire mesh fence, when that train comes roaring through the tunnel and across the bridge... lets just say you are Very aware of how close it is! LOL. What amazed me about the locks is how do they get them so far out there? Many of them are more than an arms length away! I guess that is love for you... doing the impossible to impress! :)
