I wondered what looked different about Stockton Top Lock, and it took a few minutes to realise. While most locks have a vertical line between black and white paint, Stockton's beams were already painted in a gentle curve. However, this year the paint job has a definite yin and yang appearance. (Admittedly that's a Taoist concept and not Zen, but I've never been one to let the facts get in the way of a pun). Here's another picture from late 2008 of the same lock from the other direction to show the difference. Or to put it another way that was Zen this is Tao. Sorry, I'll get my coat.
