Canal Gate by darchibald

Canal Gate

In a few weeks, this gate will be closed so the Erie Canal can be drained until May. I never knew the canal was drained each winter until we moved out to Middleport.
Interesting. Do you know why they do it?

@tinley23 They do it to protect the canal walls from ice. The walls are were boats dock in towns during summer.

I'm not all that fond of dreary, cloudy days but they do lend a bit of moodiness to the landscape. This turned out great!
