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.
One of several restored locks on the historic Hennepin canal that connects the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers across Northern Illinois. Lock 16.
This was made in a rush as the light was fading. Like many of my images, it was a snatch on the way home from work. The colour in the sky was stunning and I tried to act fast to get something. In fact, if I had set up my tripod I would have been too late, so I rested my camera on the ground, beside a puddle from a recent shower. It's far from perfect, but I hope it captures the mood of a shower having passed and the sky breaking to reveal a more favourable light.
Quick snap of my dad while he was standing over one of the lock gates, taking a photograph looking down at the rushing water pouring over it.
We seem to find a lot of locked things in our travels out and about. This particular lock was on a utility type building at a community center where we ate our lunch. It was Sunday and all the buildings were locked but there were a couple of nice pavilions where the breeze cooled us a bit as we ate. Today we are headed out once more to see what we can see and hopefully some locks will be missing so we can peek inside! LOL
Captured in: Smoky Mountain National Park.
Cherokee, NC.
Pictured here is the third in a set of images featuring an up-close and personal view of Elk bulls roaming the fields of Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
This shot was captured just as two young bulls began sparing (commonly seen during the rutting season), trying to prepare themselves to one day challenge the head bull for the lead role in their gang.

It was a busy day at the office; I was training people all day. There's nothing like a day of training people to remind yourself what your weakness are when it comes to the job.
Lots of questions and some had to go unanswered, but that's okay because I'll figure out the answers and share the knowledge tomorrow.
I find training people to be exhausting but it's also a great way to figure out what I need to work on, and where to build.
I believe it was Albert Einstein who said "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." and I agree with this line of thought and strive to follow it when it comes to teaching people.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
