New additions to the many love locks attached to liverpool waterfront chains,maybe the idea stemmed from here.
Greenland Dogs are working animals and not pets. They are kept chained up most of the time and only used in winter for pulling sledges. The perfect circle of trampled ground made by the dog caught my eye.
The Greenland Dog (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Qimmiat, Danish: Grønlandshunden, also known as Greenland Husky) is a large breed of husky-type dog kept as a sled dog and for hunting polar bear and seal. It is an ancient breed, thought to be directly descended from dogs brought to Greenland by the first Inuit settlers.
Greenland dogs are usually chained up for the summer and used by the Inuit in winter for sledging. The perfect circle of trampled bare ground caught my eye,
In 1975, a study was made of ancient canid remains dated to the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene that had been uncovered by miners decades earlier around Fairbanks, Alaska. These were identified as Canis lupus and described as "short-faced wolves". The collection was separated into those specimens that looked more wolf-like (i.e. the Beringian wolf), and those that looked more dog-like and in comparison to the skulls of Eskimo dogs from both Greenland and Siberia thought to be their forerunners.
Nearly all dog breed's genetic closeness to the gray wolf is due to admixture.[2] However, several Arctic dog breeds show a genetic closeness with the now-extinct Taymyr wolf of North Asia due to admixture. These breeds are associated with high latitudes - the Siberian husky and Greenland dog that are also associated with arctic human populations, and to a lesser extent the Shar Pei and Finnish spitz. An admixture graph of the Greenland dog indicates a best-fit of 3.5% shared material, however an ancestry proportion ranging between 1.4% and 27.3% is consistent with the data. This indicates admixture between the Taymyr wolf population and the ancestral dog population of these 4 high-latitude breeds. This introgression could have provided early dogs living in high latitudes with phenotypic variation beneficial for adaption to a new and challenging environment. It also indicates the ancestry of present-day dog breeds descends from more than one region.

Chains & rust.
This stainless steel chain creates an interesting contrast against the rust covered metallic structure on this fishing vessel.

The chain-link fence around our community pool looked really awesome against the greyish-yellowish storm rollin' in clouds!
1976. Taking photos for the Lakefield Leader (near Peterborough Ontario Canada) covering my first auction, I learned the hard way not to stick up my hand. Was holding a small flash. Ended up burying the chain in the backyard of our apartment. Sold to the sucker with the camera!
Jimmy: Uhh, Mr. McClure? I have a crazy friend who says its wrong to eat meat. Is he crazy?
