Fun to see them in action.
So it regulates the water level in the river
In the summertime I always take the time to watch the boats pass through.
Not for big boats then.
I've always been impressed with locks. This renders really well in black and white.
Narrower than the canal locks I'm familiar with here.
It is fairly narrow, TFG.
Not very good for big boats.
I am trying once again to comment. What river? Is it as narrow as it looks, or this a matter of the perspective of the shot? I have never had the occasion to take my boat through a lock, though I have always thought it would be a fun experience.I always enjoy your site. PhotoMono(Don Simmons)
...your lock reminds me of the locks on our Erie Canal.Have a great weekend.
That looks very narrow. One I´ve seen was way wider. Maybe this is a canoe/kayak lane. 🙃
We have somme like that in a canal in Paris. Of course they are not so narrow
Great shot! The gates don't appear to have been opened recently ;)
I was recently allowed to peek into such an empty lock chamber.Beautiful photo.
