Hello John,
Something seems to have gone wrong, since there is no note. But it doesn't matter. We can see a quite modern lock regulating the flow of water in the timeless rural scenery. It may be les picturesque than something built of stone or bricks, but it is probably more efficient and doesn't need so much maintenance. The buildings and meadows are certainly beautiful, and so are the colours of this technically excellent photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Lep pogled i trenutak ...
Lepo mesto i prevodnica, kapija. Lepa zelena obala i polja.
Lepo pokazano sa dobrom perspektivom, dobro uhvacen trenutak sa oblacima.
Zelim vam lepu i mirnu noc, sve najbolje.

Hello John,

Somehow your note seems to have disappeared. But never mind, I strongly suspect that this lock is the same one which you showed to us about two weeks ago here:

https://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/Belgium/photo1584547.htm

If I am correct, you are now showing it to us from the opposite direction, so the canal, with its lines of trees on one side and ploughed field on the other, is now behind the camera.

This is a very modern looking lock, built of concrete and steel rather than the old style of stone and wood but it is not unattractive. The green fields and lovely yellow flowers brighten up the surroundings as also do the houses with their lovely red roofs.

Lovely light, rich colours, perfect exposure and excellent detail and sharpness.

Beautiful!

Take care and stay safe.

Kind Regards,

John.

Hello John, I imagine that locks such as this are necessary to keep the water in check.
Maybe not the most attractive of locks, it nevertheless teaches about your country and how the waterways fit into the landscape.
Very interesting.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi John,
well presented this lock with the perspective of the canal. Nice colors with a green dominant, nice water reflections, tfs.

Hello John,

It seems there was a problem adding your notes but your title explains the subject. The lock is modern, both in materials and style, especially when I compare it with locks on the canals in the U.K.
I imagine, it is very efficient was deemed necessary for this stretch of the canal.

The surrounding pasture looks lovely with its verdant grass, decked with wild flowers, so typical of late spring.

It looks as if there may be one of your recent farmhouses, in the b/g, showing the characteristic terracotta roof.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour, cher ami John,
Voir des écluses ce n'est pas courant à travers votre album, aussi, je découvre avec intérêt ce sujet.
De plus, il sert de passage au-dessus du canal.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Dag John,
Deze interessante foto van dit nieuwe sluisje doet mij denken aan een discussie die hier deze week gevoerd werd naar aanleiding van het record-droge voorjaar.
In plaats van het afvoeren van het overtollige water van de winter moeten we methodes verzinnen om het water langer vast te houden voor de steeds vaker voorkomende droogte in het voorjaar en de winter.
Vandaag kon onze tuin en elk geval wel profiteren van een flinke plens regenwater.
Groet Rob
