Postcard from Telemark; The Vrangfoss flight of locks.
Vrangfoss sluser. Dette er det mest imponerende sluseanlegget i Telemarkskanalen, med 5 slusekamre. Fossen til høyre er i dag ganske temmet, den betjener et kraftanlegg.
Motivet og oversikten over sluseanlegget er like imponerende i dag, du går bare ut på brua og tar bildet. Det går to kanalbåter hver dag.
Takk til Keith Powell for bildet.
The Vrangfoss flight of locks. The most magnificent part of the Telemark Canal, with 5 sluice chambers. The waterfall to the right has disappeared, now serving a hydropower station.
The scene is just as magnificent today. Just walk onto the bridge and take your picture. Two canal boats pass here every day during the summer. (And a lot of private motor boats, of course. I've gone thru these locks with canoe several times.)
Thanks to Keith Powell for providing the postcard.
