Canal Locks

Caen Hill, Devizes, Wiltshire

The Caen Hill flight of canal locks on the Kennet and Avon canal at Devizes is, I believe the biggest in the UK!

Keyless entry!
Guest 31-May-2007 16:37
;o) this was my first idea when reading the challenge.. just a bit too far away from them! A fabulous composition and a great reminder for me of the English countryside! ;o) V

wow!! lovely shot jw!! great take on locks!!
Guest 31-May-2007 15:55
Very cool perspective - You can really see the cascading locks - I count at least 20 of them! That must be quite a height difference - and take a very long time to get from point A to B.

your images are always such a pleasure to gaze upon. :)
