The Lock.

by pauljay

On one of the many waterways in and around the city of Maastricht this canal lock gives the impression of not having been used for many a year. Beyond the gates the canal is lined with houseboats each of which seems to have a permanent berth as each has an adjacent garden! Strange that I have never walked this area before despite all my years in the locality!

Lovely and timeless could be today or 100 years ago, except for the modern boats left.
I bet the flats to the right are dark inside.

Good balanced composition, Paul and the reflections are lovely.
Best wishes,

Nuri, it's the Belvédère district of Maastricht on the north west side of the city.
