Taken on our excursion on the Canal du Midi. We are entering the multiple lock "staircase" near Beziers. The overhead is a brick bridge. There is some construction going on in the left side of the image, hence the fence. Image processed with GIMP.

Our boat, entering a lock on the Thames, during our 1993 cruise of the river. You can see the lock wall(s), soon to be inundated as the lock is filled. There are also brick retaining walls that make up the "front yard" of the lock-keepers' house. Processed from print

Taken in 1993 during our boating trip on the Thames. This scene was so inviting that I thought of the "Wind in the Willows" at the time. Sunday challenge for "literary" reference. Take a look at this photo on a black background. Image scanned from print (sorry for the poor quality)

Taken while on the Canal du Midi, entering Beziers, France. Each of these lock door sets has a walkway with railing, the bridge over the canal has a fence, and the parkway surrounding the canal has fences. Quite a pattern! Image processed with GIMP.

Original buildings in the Panama Canal, seen during our transit in 2004. For the Sunday Challenge the building itself is a "street sign". Once you see the sign, you know where you are. More photos at: swansongrp.com/panama/panama_canal.html
