n. america - canada - ontario - 1000 isles np region Tallest Lock in the World (see large)

The tallest hydraulic lift lock in the world - 65 ft. -19.8 m. On the

outskirts of Petersborough, Ontario.

Jim,

I can't believe you were in the TOWN WHERE I LIVE!!!! in August and if I had known you were coming here I would have given you my phone number!!! or I for SURE would have loved meeting you. But perhaps you did not realize I lived here!! The lock is quite something isn't it??? The system is really a 'marvel'. It is the 'hub' of Tourism for so many small towns in Southern Ontario during the Late Spring to Fall months. I should have posted an image of it by now. This was a perfect day for your visit. I recall how hot it was in August. You had a very bright and sunny day for your visit. I hope you got to see more of the sights.  Excellent capture Jim.

Kindest regards, and sorry I did not have the opportunity to meet you!! Gail

It's my city too and you have done a fine job with our famous lift lock. I happen to know Gail and the three of us could have met for a coffee and talked about your travels. Best wishes.

I like the perspective and how that enabled you to capture a hint of this magnificent structure's reflections on the water.  

My best,

michael

You are so right. Wouldn't that have been great???? It is not often you are able to meet up with friends here on PN :) perhaps another time!

You might be surprised by return!

now wouldn't that be wonderful!!!  I met Garry through my Dad. They have both been in the same Camera Club for many years. Besides being a great photographer, he is one of the most pleasant people I have ever met.
