If you've been following along, you know that Daisy (TWMSD) and I got up ridiculously early this morning. After our pre-dawn walk, I tried for more sleep--to no avail. So at 8 am, Daisy and I set out to explore the Niagara peninsula. We went over to Niagara on the lake and then followed the Welland Canal from Lake Ontario (low point) to Lake Erie (high point). There are numerous locks along the way to raise the ships (heading to Erie; or lower them if heading to Ontario). The attached pictures are from Lock 3 of a ship called the Canadian Enterprise as it rises from the bottom to the top of the lock. It was fascinating to watch--if it hadn't started raining I could have stayed all day wathcing the ships.
