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.
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.

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.

Seen from a cruise ship, the bulk carrier Kouju Lily exits Gatún Lake via the series of three historic Gatún Locks to enter on the Atlantic side. The three locks together lower ships 85 ft (26m) when proceeding in this direction. These locks were opened in 1914.
Another set of locks began commercial operation in 2016. The new locks allow transit of larger, New Panamax ships, which have a greater cargo capacity than the previous locks were capable of handling.
Source: Wikipedia.
The Kouju Lily, built in 2011, has a length of 197 m (646 ft) and a beam of 32 m (105 ft).

View from near the top of the staircase locks. Boats are in the process of ascending and descending; there is a pound halfway where they can pass. The ponds on the right take half the water from each drop for reuse on the next ascent
