The Nun's Ascent intersects with the Via Dolorosa in Old Jerusalem. I had to do some work in PhotoShop and Topaz adjust to reduce the high contrast between the bright sunlight building in the background and the heavily shaded street.

The Ottawa locks are located in downtown Ottawa. They are 8 lift locks that connect the channel of the Rideau Canal in Ottawa to the Ottawa River, almost 80 ft. (24.4 m) below. The locks are bordered by Parliament Hill, Canada's seat of government, to the left of this view and the elegant Chateau Laurier to the right.
The Rideau Canal was constructed between 1826 and 1832, under the supervision of Lieutenant Colonel John By of the British Royal Engineers.
You can see the Alexandra Bridge that spans the Ottawa River. The far shore is the city of Gatineau in the province of Québec.
The Rideau Canal locks are currently maintained and operated by Parks Canada. The Canal system is a national historic site of Canada.

This image was made part way down the 8 lock lift stations.
You can clearly see The Chateau Laurier Hotel on left and former Commissariat Building on the right.
The lock gates are manually opened or closed by hand-turning two sets of geared cranks, a pair for each side of the lock gate.
