One of the locks, that lowered canal boats onto the Maumee River, in Side Cut Metropark, near Toledo. Originally there were six locks, constructed between 1825 and 1847. Three are left in existence. Side Cut Park is so named, because it was a side cut of the Miami & Erie Canal.
Thanks for the comments.

I like the angle you've chosen to shoot from on this one Jim. Very interesting photo; nice textures and colors.

Life is a Constant Audition
Jim - You have answered the question I asked the other day about the cut limestone walls. It is great that three of the locks are preserved to honor the history of transportation in the early and mid 1800's. Your photo captures the lock well, and the light and shadows give some added interest. Well done (as always). Thad

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. - James Dent
Hey Jimbob this is a really neat park for photos so many different scenes and you are only limited by your imagination! Your imagination seems to be doing just fine!! :) Steve

Photo taken at a good angle and the lock looks good in spite of the mess made by the seagulls. The bright sunlit trees at the end makes it even more interesting.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
The quality is very good as well as the lighting,Jim,the Autumn colors and reflections are very pleasant,the photo is very lovely.

This lock seems to be in a somewhat sorry state Jim. Your image captures this wonderfully. I really like the sunlight and shadows.

I like the shadows all around on the blocks. This is quite a capture.

Jim, You did a splendid job on this one. Great shadow play and superb textures. HDR I think was used. ♪ ♫ :)sandi♪ =^..^=

I really like the look you gave it. It seems almost shiny. Probably cause of the lighting and shadows. Beautiful work and capture Jim!

I am trying to imagine how it looked when in use JimboB. Unless I am missing something, the canal boats must have been pretty small. I like the shadows on the beautifully textured walls. Another hit for the Big Bopper.

You caught some really nice texture with this one, Jimbob. I really like this a lot. The reflections and shadows add a lot of interest as well.

Great presentation Jimbob! I also like looking through the lock to the foliage beyond. Beautiful stone textures and silky reflective water! Excellent capture! :)Ami

Simply gorgeous! I love the play of shadows, falling water and interesting stone textures. There is really a lot here.

I like the lights and the shadows on the texture of the wall and the reflections on the water. Very good shot with these colours and textures. Good work!

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
Hey Jim!
A nice little bit of history here! The shadows on the lock as well as the fall colors are very nice to look at. Great post!

let me keep my eyes open, let me see the beauty
Great perspective Jim, gives a really good impression of what it must feel like to stand in the bottom of a lock. HDR works great on that stone too.

Wow!! neat capture. I love all the textures going on here. Your s lucky to have photographed something so old. Old building and stuff are my favourite things. Just love them. They don't make them like that any more. Lyn.

A photograph is a memory in the raw. I will always treasure mine.
This one is a real beauty Jimbob, this is really a cool capture of this small lock. I guess they don't really use them anymore
