The magnificent flight of 8 locks at Ottawa is now framed by Canada’s Parliament buildings on one side and the impressive Chateau Laurier hotel on the other. This is the largest single set of locks on the entire Rideau system, providing a lift of 24 m (79 ft.). The old Commissariat building (the business/supply office used during the building of the Rideau Canal), the oldest surviving building in Ottawa, now houses the Bytown Museum

Between Wigan Pier and the former Lancaster Canal there are 23 locks. Altogether they lift the canal up 214 feet 7 inches over about two and a half miles. This is the steepest part of the canal. Most signs of the heavy industry and coal mining that were found here have now gone.

Took a different route for my lunch hour walk today and decided to visit this bridge, it's been a while since I walked through here and I was curious about how many more locks had been added in the last couple years.
Well, more have been added, and I think some have been removed. But that's love for you; sometimes it's kind of fickle.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

I've previously posted a number of photographs I took in Hoboken, New Jersey on June 7, 2023, when forest fires from Canada colored the skies along the Eastern Seaboard a brown/orange. Here's another. This was shot at Pier A Park by the Hudson River waterfront.
I spent last week in the company of family, friends and 3 dogs on a narrowboat, sailing up and down the Kennet and Avon canal. One of evenings, we moored by the majestic Caen Hill Locks near Devizes in Wiltshire. This is a shot from that evening.
It takes an hour and a half to go through the 8 locks from the Rideau canal to the Ottawa river (in the summer) an 80 ft change in elevation

“Foxton Locks are ten canal locks consisting of two "staircases" each of five locks, located on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal about 3 miles (5 km) west of the Leicestershire town of Market Harborough. They are named after the nearby village of Foxton.
They form the northern terminus of a 20-mile (32 km) summit level that passes Husbands Bosworth, Crick and ends with the Watford flight
Alongside the locks is the site of the Foxton Inclined Plane, built in 1900 to resolve the operational restrictions imposed by the lock flight. It was not a commercial success and only remained in full-time operation for ten years.[6] It was dismantled in 1926, but a project to re-create it commenced in the 2000s, since the locks remain a bottleneck for boat traffic.”

Locks and railing from a shot I took the other day of the old St. Paul St W bridge in St. Catharines.
Nate (?) and Shari perhaps... hope things are still working out for them.

These are padlocks at the Hohenzollernbrücke in Cologne, Germany. Last time I photographed them was in 2010 and I wrote something like: “Love padlocks are a custom not only in Cologne, but putting them on a Rhine bridge is kinda stylish…” It seems impossible, but there seem to be even more of these locks nowadays.
