alright, i'm trying this again because i like these. this one's a bit more literal, but if you insist. the irony is that we had a snow day and we ended up back at the school. a long story, but there are a few previously public areas, like the local sledding hill, that are now suddenly blocked off, unplowed or laden with "keep out" signs. it's getting a little creepy.
A locked portal is one of the oldest ways of keeping an area safe and secure. This lock has been guarding the north-east entrance to a silk factory long after it has been abandoned and forgotten.
Taken for the Macro Mondays Safety challenge.
Found this boat yesterday waiting to be released back to the waters. Slowly and surely winter is coming to an end. Springtime will be again upon us even here in the Northern Europe.
We took a boy's road trip down to O-town for an Alice In Chains concert; the show was terrific.

Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way...

The simple life in Darwin, California...
A heavy chain suspended from our Yew tree. We inherited it when we moved in. I suspect it was used in some kind of paint spraying operation.
“Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.”― J.R.R. Tolkien
I just couldn't find the chain I wanted to use for this weeks theme, so in the end used the chain from my cross. Turned it to mono as it looked better, or I think it does.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Brutt lenke / Kiellandmonumentet in Norwegian (Broken Chain / the Alexander Kielland Memorial).
Alexander L. Kielland (after the Norwegian writer Alexander Lange Kielland) was a Norwegian semi-submersible drilling rig that capsized while working in the Ekofisk oil field in March 1980, killing 123 people.

I went walking to find things to take pictures of today. I was inspired to take some B&W shots because of a 'history of photography' show I had been watching earlier. So I was in awe of how many photo opportunities came to greet me when I was actually feeling inspired by something. hehe
Mailed this picture to ABUS, they liked the picture that much they might want to use it! As a thank-you I got the same chain..... Thanks ABUS!

Locked out, locked in. There is always something that I want to see on the other side. Unsatisfied, I shake the chain and look beyond the bars knowing that within the space of a breath is everything i know to need. I climb, undeterred. Looking back I see that what I desire is now on the other side.
