If you are sure - you throw the key into the Danube.
If you are doubtful - keep the key and then decide ....
Alternatively - if using a combination lock - make sure to remember the combination :-)
Fun Budapest :-)

The story I was told is that couples venture together to rocks like these and place a padlock there together to keep their love "locked" forever.
You can see a million of locks at the base of Seoul Tower in Korea. What people do over here is to write their names and their beloved one as seen in the image, and lock them together for love lasting forever. I don't know much about this but guess that this idea may come from a Korean drama or something.

Benson Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England, close to Benson, Oxfordshire but on the opposite bank of the river. The first pound lock here was built by the Thames Navigation Commission in 1788 and it was replaced by the present masonry lock in 1870.

We went to visit the Te Apiti wind farm early before I had to catch a flight. Unfortunately the visitor area wasn't opened yet so we had to make do with taking photos from the gate.
This one is not highly inventive, but it is the last of the tasks to complete "The World Through My Eyes"' Weekly Scavenger Hunt #42.

Hi! Although this probably happens a lot, it is rarely captured on film!
I thought you'd enjoy the story and pictures!

this has a happy ending for the survivor!
Locked Horns
On November 6, a relative, Dona Viereck, called to tell us that she was driving to
Canton, South Dakota and had seen a buck in the distance with his head down.
It wasn't moving, and although she honked the car horn repeatedly,
he wouldn't raise his head.
She grabbed her binoculars and looked at him, and saw that the buck's horns were
entangled with those of another one, which was dead. So she called us and asked if
we wanted an adventure -- untangling the animals!
Well, we went, pronto!!! I took my camera and we walked right up to them.
They were tangled in an old fence line just east of a golf course, where some railroad tracks had been. The live buck was on the high side, and the dead buck on the slope. The other buck had been dead for 2 or 3 days, we estimated.
Terry attempted to break a point off the dead buck's rack with his pliers, but couldn't. He tried turning the dead buck's head but the other one just became more frightened and started backing up.
The live buck had the bigger rack - a 5 x 6. The dead buck was bigger bodied and looked to be an older deer. It had more "stickers" on its rack.
The now scared buck eventually got out of the fence, and out in the open.
Terry pulled an old post out of the fence line and used it to try and pry the racks
loose, but it didn't work.
We finally decided to go to a friend's house in order to borrow his chainsaw,
but then we thought something quieter would be better,
and so got a hacksaw instead.
Terry sawed the main beam on the dead buck and then other one was free!
The buck didn't realize this for probably 30 seconds or so.
When he did, he started striking the dead buck in the face repeatedly.
He finally raised his head a little, and then a little more.
He stood there with his head held high looking at both of us and we
wondered if he were going to try charging us too!
Then he turned and ran off rather wobbly.
He went a short distance, lay down briefly,
and then got up and took off in the direction of the Big Sioux River.
Terry and Sherry, thanks for the great story and photos,
and for setting the big guy free!

This is the lower end entrance to Lock 18 with the north chamber on the right and the half buried south chamber on the left. Lock 18 was a double chamber lock put into service in 1842. It was built largely of Amsterdam stone and was in service until about 1916. It was the last and highest lock in Cohoes. The south chamber is partially filled in. The Cohoes locks were never lengthened during the later enlargement. Lock 18 is on the National Historic Register and is located on North Mohawk Street across from Cohoes Falls.
