Turn To Open/ Shadow Shot


Shadow of wheel that opens and closes a gate at the Kirkfield Locks




To open or close the gate that allows water to fill or empty the canal lock, the operator pushes on the yellow bar and walks in a circle around the wheel.

what a great pattern is created in the shadow...

I've never seen one of those contraptions before. What a fun shadow it casts! If the person responsible for opening and closing the gate performs this task a lot they must keep very fit. Walking around and around so often. I'd get dizzy! ;D

At the Kirkfield Locks,
whirling, swirling shadows play
as barges inch by.

I'm sure glad you included that second shot...I could not figure out where the twirling rope-like shadow was coming from.

Nicely done!

Enjoy your day!
