Since the basin on this lift lock is somewhat closed, it's hard to get a good impression of how far up we actually were. But I tried!
Here's a look over the treetops.
And now the gates are opening at the top of the lock. We sailed down a little ways and looked around before turning around and doing it all again. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon and I'd love to come back when the new lock is built to give it a test whirl as well!
It's finally Friday. I hope you've got some nice plans for the weekend. The weather is supposed to be nice, so I'll probably be on the golf course. Hope your skies are blue too - you can see more at Skywatch.
That's high!
ReplyDeleteAnd then to make those doors watertight, what a marvelous construction.
ReplyDeleteActually, we're in for a change towards a stormy weekend. Oh well. Better weather to come.
ReplyDeleteTotally love that second image Hal - right up my alley, lots of lovely structure and steel AND a view! AHA so you'll be strutting your lady golfer stuff on the course this weekend. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Love the top shot.

ReplyDeleteYou captured the height beautifully Hal, on first glance I thought the first image was a reflection.. enjoy your blue sky weekend, mine are supposed to be grey and I really hope the are :)
ReplyDeleteI could spend some time around this thing...
ReplyDeleteNicely photographed and explained, Hal!
ReplyDeleteExcellent photography, Halcyon. The height certainly does come across.

ReplyDeleteWow, fantastic photos!!!
ReplyDeleteLa deuxième donne une bonne impression de la hauteur, et j'adore la première !
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos! The first sky seems like framed!
ReplyDeleteI am going out early tomorrow for a game of golf before the heat and humidity rise. There are supposed to be thunderstorms in the afternoon. Is there much golf in Germany?
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed your adventure through the lock. Hope you are having fun on the golf course!
