Thunderstorms in the forecast this week in Orleans
Photos by Tom Rivers: The Guardian of the Waters, a mural on Main Street in Lockport, was completed in 2015. This photo was taken on Saturday. The mural pays tribute to the engineering marvels that created the Flight of Five locks, which spurred several engineering inventions. The mural is 38 feet tall and 62 feet wide. The mural is on the side wall of Mills’ Jewelers at 51 Main St. The mural was painted by Buffalo artists Augustina Droze and Bruce Adams.
