Locks on the Ponte Vecchio are put there by lovers. After "locking" their love on one of the horse tethers, they throw the key over the bridge into the Arno River to "seal" their love!
Today, early morning, under a cold rain... I was walking through Ponte Vecchio going to work and for the first time in 7 year I decided to take some pictures of this interesting usage... I think for this time, to lock my new love I'm going to buy some locks, just in case...

A sunrise photo taken at the 5 Rise Locks, which as the name suggests, lifts/lowers a boat through 5 locks. The locks are the steepest flock of Locks in the UK with a rise of 18ft 2 inches over 320 ft. The morning calmness resulted in a longer exposure to flatten the foreground water out.

Lock 72, looking towards Wigan, with St Catharine's church
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal - stretching 127 miles and taking 46 years to complete - is truly
one of the wonders of the industrial age.
The final stretch of the canal in Wigan was one of the most difficult to build but is a
extraordinary feet of engineering. Over
three miles to Top Lock, the terrain rises
200 feet and incorporates a magnificent
flight of 23 locks.
The locks, attached to the bridge crossing the Nyhaven canal, are a promise to return to Copenhagen. The image was taken a dawn with the colorful architecture and wooden ships docked in the canal.

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 three miles west of the Leicestershire town of Market Harborough. They date from 1810 and are named after the nearby village of Foxton. They form the northern terminus of a 20-mile summit level that passes Husbands Bosworth, Crick and ends with the Watford flight
Staircase locks are used where a canal needs to climb a steep hill, and consist of a group of locks where each lock opens directly into the next, that is, where the bottom gates of one lock form the top gates of the next. Foxton Locks are the largest flight of such staircase locks on the English canal system.
At the bottom of the flight is the Foxton Locks Inn, the cream-coloured building just right of centre. This is a very popular pub-restaurant. Just beyond it, out of shot, is the junction for the Market Harborough Arm of the canal.

The waterfall and locks descending from the Pawtucket and Eastern Canals to the Concord River in Lowell, Massachusetts. The canals were built in the 1800s to provide power and transporation to Lowell's former textile mills.

I was photographing the bridge and water, I would have missed these had my husband not pointed them out.

In total, there are 29 locks in the Caen Hill system rising 237 feet. They are located on the Kennet and Avon canal near Devizes in Wiltshire. This image shows the most famous section consisting of 16 locks in a straight steep section up Caen Hill. These locks were built around 1810 and are a truly magnificent example of the ingenuity of the early canal engineer

Lock locks started to appear on the Wye Bridge in 2012 and were the first to appear in Derbyshire, presently there are many hundreds now attached to the bridge. The love locks may be loved by some and hated by others however it does indicate that there is still some love in the world.
These locks on the Alster River at Hamburg, Germany, control water levels on Inner Alster Lake (Binnenalster). Downstream additional locks on the Alster protect the river from North Sea tides in the much larger Elbe River.
Marple Locks are a flight of sixteen deep narrow locks on the Peak Forest Canal.
The rise of the lock flight is 209 feet 6 inches, giving the locks an average of around 13 feet 1 inch.

Pont des Arts may lure lovers from around the world to seal their love with a lock (to which they throw the key into the river below) but it also draws photographers by the boat load! Trying to get an angle without another photographer in the shot was an experience I didn't expect. To my delight this young girl seemed to waltz into my shot just at the right moment as her imagination seemed to just sweep her up into the moment as she explored these locks of love.
(Pont des Arts is a pedestrian only bridge over the river Seine in Paris.)
I took a similar frame in B/W but they did look good in colour as well, fear not B/W to return very soon.
.. Bosley Locks are a flight of twelve locks on the Macclesfield Canal, designed by engineer Thomas Telford and built by resident engineer William Crosley under the supervision of Nowell and Sons, with construction occurring between the Macclesfield Canal's authorization in 1826 and its opening in 1831. The locks raise boats 118 feet, utilizing a unique design with double top gates and a blocking pin for efficiency. The flight was built to concentrate the canal's level change in one location due to the challenging hilly terrain.
