The lock has emptied and a cruiser emerges. Once it has cleared the narrow space and passed under Bridge 168, where the photographer is standing, the narrowboat will enter and ascend the lock. The waiting butty will come up separately afterwards; of course it will have to be roped into and out of the lock.
