A sluice gate and it’s reflection
The Five-Rise Locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Bingley in West Yorkshire. This canal was constructed in the late eighteenth century to connect the port of Liverpool with Leeds and the Heavy Woollen District of West Yorkshire. In order to do this, a way had to be found through the Pennines amd this involved some tunneling and also some negotiation of steep gradients such as here at Bingley in West Yorkshire. The canal is now used for pleasure craft and is maintained by British Waterways.
I found an old pencil sketch I did in 1967 or 1968 (not sure) and I decided to use it as the basis of doing another brightly coloured pencil drawing.

Throop Sluice Gates The sluice gates adjacent to Throop Mill, near Bournemouth, Dorset, England. These sluice gates have recently been Grade II listed after the UK government agreed they “contributed significanly to the character of the area”. / So it looks like they’ll be preserved for future generations of photographers! / Whether that means a new coat of paint or not I don’t know. For many people, their rusty appearance is part of their appeal. The sluice gates date from 1936. Three were manufactured by the Dorset Iron Foundry in Poole, and three by Lott and Warne Ltd of Dorchester. Date: 2nd May 2008 Click here to see Berry Hill Nursery
In order to use the corn or grains for baking they had to be ground into flour. This could be done by mortar and pestle but is very time consuming using this method. Man as far back as the 1st B.C. has used hydropower to help speed up this process. The use of this power came to be known as gristmills. / A water wheel consists of a large wooden or metal wheel, with a number of blades or buckets arranged on the outside rim forming the driving surface. Most commonly, the wheel is mounted vertically. Water turns the wheel then gears and ultimately the grinding stones. They are many verities of this method. / The wheel here at the John Cable Mill in Cades Cove is known as an overshot type. This gets its name from water running over the top of the wheel. This mill wasn’t the 1st in Cades Cove but by 1870 the population was large enough to support another.

Sluice-gate at Örje, Norway
Went out for lunch today with some friends, had a walk among the sand dunes and breathed in the fresh sea air. This is about 15 minutes from where I live.

This is part of the sluice of the “New” Mills. The mill is long gone, it was originally built in 1430 and operated as a corn mills and water pumping system until 1897, when it was taken over by the City Corporation as part of the sewage system. The mill caused a riot in 1442 after the Abbot of St Benets objected to the mill which was causing him a loss of revenue. His predecessors had been operating a mill for some 200 years. Canon EOS400D / Post-processed in CS3 to accentuate the shape and form of the building.
