  I just like the arches, was nicely constructed. That is the guard gate. It was held closed when a boat was in the chamber. This gate was to prevent water from rushing towards the chamber. Why it's the only one built liek this, I have no clue.

  Mwa, I've passed over lock doors about 1 foot wide. Usually they have only 1 handrail, sometimes none (or there is a 1-metre gap in the center).

That always scares the shit out of me because falling in water is bad luck but falling in an operating lock = painful death
