The Rideau Canal is a waterway that connects the Ottawa River in Ottawa with Lake Ontario at Kingston, Ontario. The first 8 locks in Ottawa raise the level of the canal 30 feet to the Rideau River, bypassing Rideau Falls. The locks were completed in 1831 and the entire canal in 1832. Originally for commercial use, it is now mostly pleasure craft and sightseeing. This picture shows the close proximity of the locks to the Chateau Laurier hotel.

These are on a fence at a viewpoint for Mt Gambier blue lake.
Has always struck me as a strange "tradition" - and a waste of expensive good locks.
They seem to appear in all kinds of odd places.
Everyone to their own taste I guess!
Located on the Rideau River, Merrickville is a unique and vibrant Victorian village on the Rideau Canal running through the centre town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the early 1800s. You can also watch boats going through three locks each hand-operated. An organization called Communities in Bloom named Merrickville Canada's Most Beautiful Village in a 1998 competition, and it regained the honor in 2019.

Situé sur la rivière Rideau, Merrickville est un village victorien unique et dynamique sur le canal Rideau qui traverse le centre-ville, un site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO construit au début des années 1800. Vous pouvez également observer les bateaux passer par trois écluses, chacune actionnée manuellement. Une organisation appelée Communities in Bloom a nommé Merrickville le plus beau village du Canada lors d'un concours en 1998, et a regagné cet honneur en 2019.
Stonebridge Locks form part of the Lea navigation System. An important waterway at one time it was used to transport ammunition and gunpowder from Enfield to the River Thames. Here a working narrowboat along with a companion are ready to exit the locks heading north
It's a cliché, I know, but it's almost impossible to walk by this spot without making a photo.

A perfect lighting situation at the Ballard Locks in WA. I waited for the sun to pop thru the clouds for a dynamic look and stunning water reflections.

Foxton Locks are the largest flight of staircase locks on the English canal system. The locks are equipped with side pounds, with white paddles emptying a lock into a side pound, and red paddles filling the next lock downstream from the pound. This saves water compared to the more common riser staircases, since changing the direction of traffic does not require emptying/filling almost all the locks.
A favourite place of mine. Knowle locks will on occasions produce lovely conditions for photographs. Tonight was one of those times.
This was another Faux ad, for Locks of Love. My best friend in the whole world Natalia got a lot of her hair cut off. and donated :) This one turned out great as well :)

After watching fishermen do their thing and police do their thing we ended up at the Erie Canal and took a cruise through locks 34 and 35. The water will rise to the green doors taking about 8 minutes or so and then the gates open and the boat moves through this lock to the next one.... two in a row. Fascinating process. Reverse on the way back. I was amazed at how fast the water comes in and goes out. These are not the original locks but there is one right next to this where you can see the original. The Erie Canal is still in use today and runs from the Hudson River in Albany New York all the way to Buffalo on Lake Erie. Well.... I think the rooster woke my campers up as they are starting to come in to thaw out (it was 48 degrees last night! (8.8 celsius)
