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.
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.
This is the final lock gate on the Forth and Clyde Canal, Scotland. There are 39 locks on the canal and the final one is called lock 40 (where is the missing lock you may ask?). The gates are about 20 feet / 6 metres high and hold in the water at Bowling Basin on the River Clyde. On this side of the lock it is open to the sea or the tidal part of the River Clyde, hence the seaweed clinging to the lock.
The Forth and Clyde Canal opened in 1790, crossing central Scotland; it provided a route for the seagoing vessels of the day between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part of the Scottish Lowlands. It is 35 miles (56 km) long and it runs from the River Carron at Grangemouth to the River Clyde at Bowling.
This photo is a 25 second exposure in near darkness with a polarising filter to saturate the wonderful rusting iron and seaweed colours of the lock gate and the water escaping through the cracks in the gate.

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!
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.
I signed up for the Canal and River Trust Canalathon fundraiser this month (July 2022). The idea is to run or walk a total of 26.2 miles in July along local rivers and canals across England and Wales. I completed my 26.2 miles in almost one day with a 25.51 mile walk from Market Harborough to Leicester city centre. Earlier walks ensured I'd made my overall target. I plan to keep on canal/river walking in July and to add those walks to my overall total. You can see maps of my walks at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/brian-negus and, if you share my love of the English and Welsh waterways, any donations you feel able to make would be wonderful. I've also tweeted about my walks at www.twitter.com/BrianNegus.
This is part of the flight of 10 locks at Foxton Locks, where I took a brief lunch break after my first 5.8 miles. It is the steepest and longest staircase of locks in the UK. My path continues downhill to Leicester, not up that steep incline. I'm standing on an arched bridge over the canal to take this shot.
A favourite place of mine. Knowle locks will on occasions produce lovely conditions for photographs. Tonight was one of those times.
The Pedro Miguel Locks on the Panama Canal, Panama, raise or lower ships 9.4 meters between Miraflores Lake and the level of Gatun Lake in the Culebra Cut.
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 :)

Well OK then - one can walk around this gate to get to the path easy enough but if your on 4 wheels that's not gona happen.
The Gatun Locks (1913) on the Panama Canal near Colón, Panama, allow ships to access Gatun Lake. The cruise ship Carnival Pride is seen in the background waiting to enter the locks.
The Hatton Locks or Hatton Flight are a flight of 21 locks on the Grand Union Canal in Hatton, Warwickshire, England. The flight spans less than 2 miles of canal, and has a total rise of 45 metres.
This beautiful locks can be seen on the Michaelisbridge in Hamburg. My Sweetheart and I have one there as well... ;)
Lot's of love to all of you... :)

A favorite place to practice some fun photography during the right time of year and one of our many Ottawa landmark buildings available for scenic backgrounds.
