| Dennis DeBruler replied to Kenny's question Note the remnants of a lock from a previous canal channel. Counting the 1973 bypass channel, there have been five canals through here. |

The 3D Satellite view also shows an abandoned railroad swing bridge over the old canal remnant. There used to be a second lift bridge to carry the railroad across the new channel.

Friday night started out at home in Port Colborne, Ontario, having a wonderful dinner at Canalside with the Ship Junkies! The live music had everyone singing and we really enjoyed all the fun stories and meeting some awesome new people. I had been watching the solar activity climbing all afternoon, so I was determined to capture the Northern Lights! As soon as it got dark, I rushed home for my camera and returned to the Canal. This image was taken at 10pm, just after the CSL Assiniboine had slipped under the Clarence Street Bridge (Bridge 21). I was getting worried, because, initially, I could not see any sign of the Northern Lights. Then I looked in front of me, to the east, and they were erupting! I quickly repositioned and grabbed my 14mm lens to capture these two images. The images were taken only 30 seconds apart and demonstrate how quickly the Northern Lights were moving and changing. The Northern Lights are alive in the sky and are constantly moving. I love the unpredictability and randomness of nature! However, when you are completely present with nature, it allows you to be part of "The Flow!

The St Marys Cement 2 barge being pushed by Eagle 2 tug. Jeff Hribar: Here’s a good video about the Houghton, Michigan lift bridge (I have no affiliation to the video). She talks about “how it works” around 7:50 and the chains specifically around 9:30. |
