Upstream Gates
Upstream gate at Lock 44. The mitered design was conceived by Leonardo Da Vinci. The metal poles operate metal (sometimes wooden) paddles called wickets that were opened to allow water into or out of the lock.
People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
I'm a 50ish geek, and my mind is so stuffed with useless trivia, that I have difficulty remembering how to cross the street!!
