A quick drive down to Latchford Locks in Warrington to catch the last of the sunset. The sun was setting in this direction but all the colour was the other way although I did't really see a composition I liked.
I went for a walk along the canal yesterday. Very few birds on the water. All the canal boats, etc, were waiting above the 5 rise locks for permission to move down.
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

Seen on a bridge in Bristol.It seems that you and a loved one put the lock on the bridge,and then throw the key into the water,symbolising that you will never be parted.
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

The Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal is a disused canal in Greater Manchester, England, built to link Bolton and Bury with Manchester. The canal, when fully opened, was 15 miles 1 furlong (24.3 km) long. It was accessed via a junction with the River Irwell in Salford. Seventeen locks were required to climb to the summit as it passed through Pendleton, heading northwest to Prestolee before it split northwest to Bolton and northeast to Bury. Between Bolton and Bury the canal was level and required no locks. Six aqueducts were built to allow the canal to cross the rivers Irwell and Tonge and several minor roads.
The canal was commissioned in 1791 by local landowners and businessmen and built between 1791 and 1808, during the Golden Age of canal building, at a cost of £127,700 (£9.73 million today).Originally designed for narrow gauge boats, during its construction the canal was altered into a broad gauge canal to allow an ultimately unrealised connection with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The canal company later converted into a railway company and built a railway line close to the canal's path, which required modifications to the Salford arm of the canal.
Most of the freight carried was coal from local collieries but, as the mines reached the end of their working lives sections of the canal fell into disuse and disrepair and it was officially abandoned in 1961. In 1987 a society was formed with the aim of restoring the canal for leisure use and, in 2006, restoration began in the area around the junction with the River Irwell in Salford. The canal is currently navigable as far as Oldfield Road, Salford.
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...
At the Basilica du Sacre Coeur the forecourt is full of street sellers flogging locks to hang on the fences. The view from the square over Paris is stunning as you try and identify landmarks in the distance.

State of the art locks were built at Hatton to flight off stiff competition from the roads and railways in the 1930's. When the locks were completed bands played and crowds gathered to watch the Duke of Kent arrive by boat and cut the ribbon. Today Hatton Locks is a lovely peaceful location to watch the colourful narrowboats as they move through the flight
