What a great photo. Thanks!
I think locks are fascinating! It looks very quiet there!
Wonderful shot of the canal lock. They are interesting to watch, especially when they are lifting the boats.
This is a lovely photo of the canal lock. I grew up in England and used to love watching the barges go through these.

A very nostalgic view. I love the reeds caught up by the passing water.
Wonderful post, like looking the flow of the water on canal, beautifu shot,
that looks like a very old canal. is it?
Cool! This reminds me of some of the locks on the Trent-Severn Waterway here in Ontario! How neat to see yours. :)
Oh, this is a very scenic spot. Great photo Jane.
Gorgeous!

A nice little house by the canal would suit me just fine.
Are there fish there? Are these for flood control? I dont we have these in the Philippines.

Great water shot.

What a nice picture of the lock. I wouldn't want to pass there with a boat if I had to work the lock ;)
Thanks everyone:)
@ A and Y: the lock near the Falkirk Wheel said 2001 on it, so its fairly new.
I used to like the Canal at Crinan in Argyll, I think that one was older.
@ Dinah: I think there are fish there, I don't think its for flood control.
@Lyndsay: It was fairly quiet there apart from the people talking at the pub, and at least it was decent weather.
Very interesting, makes for a great WW shot!
Happy WW
Grat shot - locks always fascinated me!
That's a great shot. I like the contrast of sides. Your area reminds me of the area around Eureka in Northern California, way up near the Oregon border. I think quite a few Scottish families migrated to that area in the 19th century.

This and That. Here and There. Now, Sometimes Then.
I remember small/ makeshift canal locks in the Philippines when they were irrigating a certain rice field. Sometimes they used sandbags. This one looks easier & very convenient to lock the water in. :)
@ Tricia: Thanks, hope you have a great week:)
@ Su siee Mac: Eureka sounds very pretty, I should imagine its very picturesque. Thanks for enjoying the photo.
Thanks everyone for visiting, sorry about the moderation but I am sick of that Spam rubbish that comes up.
Now I need to know what a "lock" is.
:-)
Really nice scene here. I have a brand new granddaughter, two days old, and they named her Jane. The name is coming back.
@Scott:Congratulations of your grandaughter, I bet she is lovely-nice of them to call her Jane too, its a true English name and I am glad its making a comeback-thanks for visiting:)
