Rock lock…

The Main in Würtzburg has a lock through which we saw a few barges quickly pass. I haven’t seen another built in quite the same way, with a long, sloping rock break.I didn’t have the patience to film a ship being lowered, but took a few clips of the rocks, which make a loud but soothing sound as the river passes over them.

Here’s one from a bit closer that has become a favorite of mine.

And another of the cutwaters on this beautiful bridge.
