More locks

Cool pics! On the subject of locks, I also have pictures of two of Belgium's locks, if anyone is curious:

Sloping Lock of Ronquières, Belgium (http://www.claws-and-paws.com/node/19)

Strépy-Thieu Canal Lock (http://www.claws-and-paws.com/node/33)

I apologize for the less than perfect quality, but those pictures were shot in below-freezing temperatures. I had trouble holding the camera steady. :-)

That is one of the coolest lift locks I've ever seen.

And it uses about 1.5 kWs to turn the wheel, fully laden(about the same amount of power to boil about 8 kettles of water).

One of my photographs, taken when riding along the canal from Glasgow to Edinburgh:

Therte are many interesting sites to be seen along the canal...

I dunno, kind of looks like the Zilwaukee Bridge, to me. (scleroticrings should get the reference.)
