大津閘門 / panorama by kazu saito
Via Flickr:
大津閘門は1889（明治22）年完成です。 琵琶湖疏水は、各種用水・水力発電などに利用されましたが、舟運のための運河でもありました。 疏水路の水位は琵琶湖の水位よりも低くつくられため、舟が行き来するときに両側の水門を開閉し閘室内部に水を注排水することにより、琵琶湖と疏水路の水位差を調整します。水位差は当時は1メートル以上、現在は数十センチだそうです。 写真向かって左側の部分の鉄製（完成当時は木製だったそうです。）の門扉が船の通り道の閘門です。右側は水が流れる制水門です。 閘門の開閉の電動化工事はほぼ完成し近いうちに琵琶湖疏水船は閘門を通り琵琶湖まで運行される計画らしいです。

Found this on my wander around Osaka. Looks like another part of the abandoned lock I came across.

#on the train home from my boyfriend's place in the late afternoon sunlight. all the fields of wheat look golden.#i had a dream last night where i was carrying an infant son on my hip and he had a crown of dark curly hair#i woke up with a strange feeling in my stomach and an insatiable craving for a food i rarely eat#though i'm sure that the symptoms of early pregnancy and the after effects of drinking very heavily for 4 days are very similar#the sun makes me miss my beloved.#i've only just waved goodbye to him and pressed my hand against the glass of the train window to meet his on the other side.#he makes me feel so loved. i feel proud to wear his ring and that he wears mine. i have a lock of his hair & a love letter in my gold locket#the train just passed by a field full of birds of prey. grouse maybe. it went by too fast to tell but you know their shape#i feel like crying for want of him. like a woman in a greek tragedy who beats at her chest and tears her hair#love is full of so many big emotions. they don't tell you that in films. this unutterable longing that swells like the sea.#but I'll spend our time apart knowing that he's there in the world. loving me.#and that I'll be here radiating love like a furnace. enough that he can feel it across the miles.#sunlight on canal. breeze through the open window. love will find you anywhere.#Spotify
