p.1 #1 · The old barrage

This is shot at the place where I work (I'm a lock keeper). This old barrage will soon be replaced by a new barrage, which they're building right next to this one. Any C&C are aprreciated.

Tim,
This is a beautiful photograph. And a perspective of locks I've never seen.
I learned something new about the meaning of the word "barrage," also. I'd previously thought of it only as "a projection of many things at once," as in artillery barrage, or a lot of people loudly talking at the same time, etc.

My two favorite aspects in this shot are the reflection and the trees in the back.
Really nicely balanced, too.

Charlie, Scott and Ray thank you very much!

@Charlie: I'm a Belgian, so I searched in the Dutch-English dictionary for a translation.

I had several options, barrage, weir, dam... In French it's called barrage as well.
It's a construction, which is used to control the water level of the river.
Maybe 'weir' was a better option?

The range between light and dark in this image is beautifully captured. A quiet place, at night when no vessels pass through, I imagine.

You are a master of low key/night time photography. You have also developed a recognizable style. I always come back to look at your images several times. The reflection really makes this one.
