Guillotine Lock

We came across the lock on the left yesterday, one we’d never seen before. We spent a while figuring out its workings and came to the conclusion that it must work something like a guillotine does. Then we carried on our walk under the bridge, and there was a sign explaining that very thing. Clever us!

A gruesome end but hopefully quick.

How very interesting! These images have been so good in letting us see how these canals worked.

There is always something to surprise us isn’t there?
Love the light on the tree leaves too.
