“Unlock”

Hi Herb never been to Pennington Flash will have to put that right see if the Herons are still there.
Like the PiP's
Regards TOZ

Thanks Toz. Yes these were taken just at the side but higher than the Pennington Flash lakes. The canal, by itself was pretty interesting but added to the wildlife of the lakes it made the whole thing wonderful. Glad you liked them.

Regards, Herb

Amazing shots of the old lock gates.............and good to get two different perspectives. The detail in the main image is fantastic. I especially like the rusty ironwork

I particularly like the PiP showing the canal bridge - It's beautifully composed and the light is really lovely, particularly where it's reflected on the water and the distorted reflection of the bridge itself is brilliant.

You've done a cracking job of these Herb. I hope you're enjoying the weekend. We''ll be finishing off the preparations for the arrival of my daughter and the grandchildren on Monday and doing some last minute shopping.

Good to see you again Keith and especially nice that you liked this series. I was holding the bridge one back to add it as a solo later but it matched here OK. (That one would have also made a nice HFF photo perhaps). I did not know the story about these vertical lock gates before doing some research for this posting.
Just a bit of company for Xmas lunch for us and lots of visitors today as it is Eileen's birthday. Other than that its business as usual. -Wishing for some cold frosty/snowy photographic weather now.

All the Best, Herb

Wonderful image, love the PiP's.

Great view of that book!

I had no idea it was a book, at the time I took this Daniela. We all learn with these things. Glad you liked it.

Best Wishes, Herb

just amazing sculpture and great symbolism, nice pov

Excellent picture, great words, Herb !

Another place to add to my list of must visits.
A fine shot Herb, like the Pip's too.

A must for sure Greg. A great bit of canal with the bonus bird reserve of the lake below:


All the Best, Herb
