Different place this week, Newbury. The lock to be precise taken from the bridge on Bridge street where I went to while my wife went out trying to find Christmas Presents. Always on the lookout for a skywatch this one was hard not to miss
Wide view from the bridge
Zooming in on the lock which is on the right, the part to the left is the river Kennet, back in the 1970's I did a raft race that came through Newbury, we had to go around the lock and down the steps you see in the center, not easy with a flimsy raft between four of you, we finished nearly last
Last view of the lock zoomed in.
Happy SkyWatch
That lock is very cool. I love how the river just comes right through town. I love the blast from the past from you about the raft race. I have finished last several times on the trail races I entered but often won my age group cuz I was the only one in the age group. I always thought that I beat everybody else who stayed in bed on the morning of the race.
