When I am at this lock at Surfers Paradise in Australia, I remember as a fourth form student, I struggled to understand how the Panama canal operates. I couldn't understand how a body of water could have different levels. Our three and fifty miles Rejang river in Borneo was just one level.
This certainly looks like a busy lock. It looks fairly small -- I'm assuming it is used primarily by pleasure craft.
ReplyDeleteCan imagine the lock in Panama canal, how big they are as compared to yours. Even they use the same principle.
ReplyDeleteHi, Ann. We have locks between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes. I never understood it either.
ReplyDeleteYou asked if it took me long to write my Good Friday poem, thanks for your comment. I guess it took a couple of hours.
Take care.
in kuching we have the Sejinkat water lock.it was been blamed for the 2003 serious flood in Kuching but im doubtful how true it was.
ReplyDeleteI am always fascinated by locks!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen locks before. Neat!
ReplyDeleteLocks are fascinating - I've been through several of them and was totally amazed each time.
ReplyDeleteLocks are fascinating constructions when you need to move ships and boats "around". I have seen them, but never been inside one.
ReplyDeletePS Thank you for the comment - the photo was shot at a wildlife park.
I love visiting the locks on the canals here in summer. YAY! Summer is coming!
ReplyDeleteI wrote on the Erie Canal not that long ago. Hundreds of locks once upon a time. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the ABC Wednesday team, thank you!
