A closer view than the previous image of the lock at Gloucester which connects the River Severn to the docks and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal.
The open stop gates this side of the closed lock gates protect the lock against abnormally high river levels.
In 2007, the river rose to 7.72m above the lock cill which, it can be seen from the measure to the right of the far stop gate, very nearly topped the gates.
As an added bonus, the clear sky allowed Venus to shine.
