Fantastic photo Dave. One of my favorite spots along the Canal; sadly I'm guessing it won't be long before they fence it off... :-(

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate your comment. I think your guess is correct ----already there are fences up lower in the canal that were not there in mid July when I visited the area.

I think it will still be an excellent shipspotting location but we will have to work harder to find good photo spots and it will certainly lose the intimacy and friendliness the Welland Canal has been known for. I think we need to invest in a truck with the bucket on the end of the boom like the phone company uses in order to get good photos! :lol: :lol:
