Thank you.

Anderton Marina tree once more from a different image

 

and another (smaller) version of the one before ...

 

They are all .jpg and this one is hosted on the CWDF site, whereas its earlier version #4616 and the one above are on 4shared mainly because I was running out of CWDF's allowance of photo-gigabytes. (I also use the nice Mr Google's photos sometimes, and they have the additional entertainment of needing to set their security to 'shared' which I have on occasion messed up.)

 

In either case the hosting website may be slow / annoyed and fail to show the images properly until it becomes happier.

 

I don't usually check photos or the format on a tablet / phone / Android so that's another possible cause of irritation.

 

If all else fails, they are all computers, so I press the reset button, say "what an incredibly stupid machine" and switch the thing on again ?

 

 

[Ray T]

I can see them now, many thanks.

Yes, brilliant. I couldn't have named the lock offhand, although 'S+W' came to mind.

 

This is from end of August 2020 when we passed that way. It is tucked in a corner twixt lock and bridge, with its protective wall, and so no picturey reason to click on the context of where it is; it seems I did in June 2019. Takes forever here to have a descending boat on its way and a waiting boat into the lock ...
