Fences on the lock gates. How many?
Happy Fence Friday!!
There are 6 locks in this immediate flight, with another one in the distance.
I am standing by the gate of No 42.
Also visible are the gates of 41, 40, and 39. Numbers 38 and 37 are too low for the gates to be seen.
Number 36 is in the distance.
Therefore there are 6½ pairs of lock gates immediately visible, with another two pairs in the distance (but you probably can't see those on ipernity processed picture)
The complete flight comprises 21 locks. See canalrivertrust.org.uk/places-to-visit/hatton-locks
Google maps and streetview show it very well.

Peter_Private_Box club has replied to Ecobird clubThank you so much for your kind words.
I am really pleased that you have enjoyed it. In this case it would take someone all day to go through the 21 locks, so not much boat traffic to watch!!
Best Wishes, slightly late HFF, and a Good Weekend

Many years ago I remember reading of some African tribe who were so primitive that they had no words for any numbers greater than three. Any number N, where N > 3 was given a name which literally meant 'many'.
Here we see a good use of such a number!

Unfortunately I didn't see any boats on here. It would take then all day to go through the 21 locks in this flight!

Really I'm enjoying so much your point of view that allows me to look through the first lock gate without bending over :-) and start counting.... I would say seven, but I should first put on my glasses ..
original idea and brilliant composition on a wonderful sunny day.
Here it goes on raining...
Best wishes for a lovely weekend.

Peter_Private_Box club has replied to Beatrice Degan(MARS)Your visit in much appreciated. Thank you!
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
What struck me was the repetitive shape of the handrails on all the lock gates. So many of them.... SO I tried to line them all up along with the church spire.....

Belated HFF, enjoy the weekend, Herb
Peter_Private_Box club has replied to Herb Riddle clubThank you for your most welcome visit
I am really pleased that you have enjoyed it, and taken the trouble to look and think.. I know it is difficult, as ipernity doesn't give the full detail as in the original..
It's also a shame that two locks in the immediate flight were too low to get their gates included..
None the less, a bit of fun... (I remember saying something last week about a harder challenge..!)

I have to admit I would give that stretch of the canal a miss....it must be really hard work going through them. They do make a very good picture though and deserves a star from me.
Best wishes, Rosa.
Peter_Private_Box club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne clubThank you so much for your thoughtful visit. I too am sure that very few boats would go this way, for the time it takes...
I am very happy that you enjoyed the picture though!!
Best Wishes
