We only just fit in the narrow locks and some of them ( not this one though) are very leaky so either the front or back deck gets swamped..or both!..If it's the back then the dog gets a shower too as she HAS to lie there like her life depends on it!!
The Bratch locks are probably one of the prettiest and most confusing set of locks in the country..on the north end of the Staffordshire & Worcester canal aobut 16 miles south of Wolverhampton.
Some of the 8 million or so padlocks in the vicinity of the Ponte Vecchio. Supposedly, if you and a lover lock a padlock on the bridge and toss the key in the river, your love will last forever.
Two points:
* What's good for love is, as usual, not so good for fish.
* Whatever lockmaker dreamed this legend up must have made a killing.
The old rusty gate giving access to the mysteries of this abandoned park has been closed by two vulgar padlocks and a rough chain.
This Kryptonite lock gave good service It is at least 8 years old. This failed by fatigue. A brute force attack against this lock breaks the inner pegged part. So I recommend buying the lighter cable version.
For Comp Corner- under lock & key...
My first thoughts for this image were similar to certain other mucky-minded perverts in the group :-) But being unable to get my hands on and think of a 'nice' way to present a Chastity belt I found this Garter with the handcuffs and made do!
The original garter is Ivory but the shot works much better in Mono. It took me a long time to get the tone right here and don't talk to me about the 'Greys'... I went through 50 of 'em to get this particular shade! ;-))
I was recently wandering the museums at the Tower of London and some of the chastity belts there were horrific! No amount of prettifying would have made a decent image! :-)) None the less it was something our Knights of Old were keen to keep safely under Lock and Key!
With thanks to Bromley Brides for the 5 minute loan.

On my way to Camden Lock Market for some cheap food and souvenirs for my family, friends and colleagues.
About five months after my visiting Camden High Street and Camden Lock Market, a big fire burnt down part of the market on the night of 2008-02-09 and 2008-02-10. I hope that the damaged stores, resturants and pubs could be re-built and the market will return to its former glory soon.
Old lock in the Meat Packing District in Manhattan, New York City, NY. This neighborhood is now a mix of high end design and the former meat packing factories that once dominated.
St Mary's at Elmley Castle, close to the bottom of Bredon Hill, is one of Worcestershire's more rewarding churches, situated in a delightful churchyard set back in a quiet corner of the village. Much of the present building is 15th century, though parts date from Norman and earlier times, shown by the herringbone masonry in the chancel and the quaint animal carvings in the porch. The building was restored by Ewan Christian in 1863 and Frederick Preedy in 1878, but while these interventions can be detected in certain places the overall sense of antiquity remains.
Inside the church the light-level is somewhat subdued, giving it a rather mysterious atmosphere. The first item of note the visitor encounters is the intriguing 14th century font with dragons writhing around its base. However, the church's greatest treasures are the two large monuments in the north transept, both of the highest quality, the superb 17th century Savage monument with three reclining effigies, and the more flamboyant Baroque monument to the Earl of Coventry from c1700, portraying the deceased reclining and flanked by angels.
Elmley Castle church is one not to be missed, the tombs alone justify a visit. It was normally open and welcoming in pre-Covid times and hopefully will receive visitors again once this crisis is behind us. Sadly more recently (since my last visit) there was an attack by a mindless vandal (not an isolated incident either) resulting in minor damage to both the major monuments. Hopefully this damage can be
put right and the church won't be forced to lock its doors.
