On Saturday I visited the Hugh Moore Park in Easton, Pennsylvania with my husband and parents.  It features a restored section of the Lehigh Valley Canal, including a lock and a locktender's house.  I loved the look of the old machinery used to open the dam that was a way to let up some pressure when the river flooded.  I took some good pictures, including the two shown above.  It was also interesting to see the old stuff in conjuntion with the new hydraulic lifts, as the gates are still serving the same purpose.  There were also geese. :)
