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.

Hohenzollern Bridge, Cologne, Germany
Couples engrave or write their names or initials on a lock, then attach it to the bridge -- and then throw the key into the Rhine River to symbolize their eternal love.
Himalayan pink salt lamps help clean the air through an operation called hygroscopy, which attracts and absorbs contaminated water molecules from the immediate environment and locks them into the salt crystal. The process has the amazing ability to remove cigarette smoke, dust and other contaminants from the air. This benefit is particularly popular, as salty air acts as an overall health booster and can help clear the air passages.
The Holtenau Locks (1914) at Kiel, Germany, gives access to the Baltic Sea. Originally known as the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal, the Kiel Canal or Nord-Ostsee-Kanal was inaugurated in 1895 as a naval route.
I was photographing the bridge and water, I would have missed these had my husband not pointed them out.
Emerging from the Cascade Locks into Bonneville Lake about the SS Legacy. The locks and dam span the Oregon-Washington border of the Columbia River.
Day 17, Panama Canal:
The Panama Canal is 51 miles (82Km) long. Three sets of Locks raise the ship to a total of 85 ft (26m) above sea level into an artificial lake, Gatun Lake.
By comparisson the Manchester Ship Canal is 36 miles (58Km) long and raises ship 60 ft (18m).
Oh my, he's going "Pro" already?
Looks like Toby's picked up Henry's "Luscious Locks" account.
I'm sure Canine Couture will be most happy with their new model.

“Everyone who’s ever taken a shower has had an idea. It’s the person who gets out of the shower, dries off, and does something about it who makes a difference.” —Nolan Bushnell

... soap and shower cap!
Yes, I made the "shower cap" tonight. The largest circle I could cut out of a fat quarter (about 18" across), a quick pair of gathering stitches sewed around the edge, and Presto!
Oh - and then a sheet of paper towel tucked inside to give it a bit of personality.
Hubby made my day when he walked in the kitchen just as I was finishing and said "Shower cap?" :)

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.
It was a beautiful afternoon yesterday, so I decided to drive across to Foxton Locks, which are two or three miles to the west of Market Harborough in south Leicestershire.
Foxton Locks date from 1810 and consist of two "staircases" each of five locks, located on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal. They are named after the nearby village of Foxton, and are one of the more famous venues on the English canal system.
At the bottom of Foxton Locks is a large basin (pictured) where the Market Harborough Arm branches off from the Grand Union Canal. There has been a substantial investment here with new car parks and toilets, a lovely pub-restaurant, a second pub, a shop and a museum. The area is exceedingly popular with visitors. I passed a very pleasant hour or two, watching the activity on the canal and chatting to a couple of boat owners.
The Vagabond II, pictured on the right, takes visitors for a half-hour trip along the Grand Union Canal. On the far left is the canal junction for the Market Harborough Arm, while the canal under the bridge (centre left) leads to the old inclined plane that was in operation for a few years in the early 1900s. This enabled wider boats to pass through. The locks are out of frame to the right of the picture.
On a photo meetup group outing, I walked on a pedestrian bridge over the Rideau Canal in Ottawa Canada. For whatever reasons, they locked locks, on the bridge railings. It looks so cool...
