An old lock, expressly for Wikipedia.
As you can see there is no need to be a skilled burglar to open it: it is enough to have something lifting the shoe-shaped piece and pushing the latch at the same time.
Una vecchia serratura, espressamente per Wikipedia.
Come potete vedere non c'è bisogno di essere un esperto scassinatore per aprirla: basta avere qualcosa che sollevi il pezzo a forma di scarpa e spinga il chiavistello nello stesso tempo.
The building in the background is an old colonial house, built by the British to house their Singapore-based expatriates, or by the British Army as residence for the officers. This particular estate of "Black-and-White Bungalows" in Rochester Park, Buona Vista, has been left abandoned and locked up.
Rochester Park as a shooting location is highly recommended for those who are interested in feeding the local mosquito community as well.
While I was shooting this evening for a whole set of 'New Wonderland', this lock caught my attention the most =D
And I'm still in the mood for some HDR ^_^
Teddington Lock is a complex of three locks and a weir on the River Thames between Ham and Teddington in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England. It was first built in 1810.
The limit of legal powers between the Port of London Authority, the navigation authority downstream to the North Sea and that upstream to small headwaters of the river, the Environment Agency, is marked nearby by an obelisk on the Surrey bank. Teddington Weir marks the river's usual tidal limit and is the lowest on the Thames. This lock is the lowest full-tide lock and second lowest of all-tide locks on the Thames.
The complex of civil engineering consists of a large long weir and three locks: a conventional launch lock in regular use, a very large barge lock and a small skiff lock. The barge lock was made to accommodate long barges, steamers or passenger ferries and has an additional set of gates half-way to operate more quickly for shorter craft. The staggered structures incorporate two reinforced narrow islands. The upper island is traversed by and accessible by the lock gates or Teddington Lock Footbridge.

I think a lock is science because of the mechanics and what goes on inside the lock to make the door open.
The rusty lock on the galvanized steel door of the wood shed. It's been there a long time, but still opens with the key. If you look closely, the spider webs are visible.

This old lock catched my eye, because of the great color with the door and the lovely handcrafted details.. They don't make these anymore...
Apparently Martin Nyrop, who designed the Copenhagen Town Hall, was into detail. Like the look of an ordinary cupboard lock in the library.

Camden lock gates are being replaced by the Canal and River Trust as part of a national restoration project they are at the first stage on the first pair of gates the other pair are still on the barge. Both sides of the lock will be renewed so that is a total of four pairs of gates. I had a close up look at the gates on the barge and they are new and not recycled so these gates are still being manufactured, that's good news for employment.
Lock Outline is an all-caps typeface for phototypesetting with interlocking alternates. It was shown by Lettergraphics in a 1969 catalog. The glyph set shown here is taken from a Fürst catalog issued around 1976,
A little more work with some extra wall and some greenery around the bottom and the scene becomes more realistic. A tree has been added behind the wall, and the whole has been photographed in front of a photographic backscene for the full effect.
A smear of cooking oil gives the impression of an oil stain on the tarmac.

the basement locking room at the humboldt-university's central library is a place that continues to attract me for its atmosphere. the idea to introduce locks to lock the lockers (yes, sounds a little tautological: what else would you use to lock lockers?) is quite recent, after the majority of keys (see, there you go ...) were stolen or lockers more or less continually reserved by nerds who wouldn't bother to drag their stuff home since they haunt the library on a daily basis. so now, it's locks, lots of golden locks. unless, of course, someone has the need to make a case against the one-dimensionality of mass university ...
