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.
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.

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.
Trying to make the most of an everyday object in poor light.

At the lock system of the 202 km long Rideau Canal Waterway in Ottawa, where 8 lock gates overcome a height difference of 24 meters. The Rideau Canal is North America's oldest operating 19th-century canal.

The Peterborough Lift Lock is a boat lift located on the Trent Canal in the city of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and is Lock 21 on the Trent-Severn Waterway.
For many years, the lock's dual lifts were the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world, raising boats 65 ft (20 m).
The city took its name from a set of locks built to improve navigation past the Cascades Rapids of the Columbia River. The U.S. federal government approved the plan for the locks in 1875, construction began in 1878, and the locks were completed on November 5, 1896. The locks were subsequently submerged in 1938, replaced by Bonneville Lock and Dam. Cascade Locks is just upstream from the Bridge of the Gods, a toll bridge that spans the Columbia River.
