Inspired by SeeSkinner's shot from last week about being locked out of his apartment. Thought I'd do the car version.

"I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in." - Virginia Woolf

Top (Western) gate of Lock #32, Barge Canal (Erie Canal). This was the first dusk shoot I brought my lady on ... I think she enjoyed it.

iPhone 3GS custom lock screen. Lock slider is hidden using winterboard. Free RAM is displayed on top next to the clock; was able to get that after messing around with settings in SBSettings. Any other questions just ask.
A lock is a device used for raising and lowering boats, ships and other watercraft between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways. The distinguishing feature of a lock is a fixed chamber in which the water level can be varied; whereas in a caisson lock, a boat lift, or on a canal inclined plane, it is the chamber itself (usually then called a caisson) that rises and falls.
Locks are used to make a river more easily navigable, or to allow a canal to take a reasonably direct line across land that is not level
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.

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.

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 ^_^
Love lock on the Millennium Bridge. I was very lucky to find this as the locks are discouraged & removed frequently.
Many people remember when this bridge was first open & it swayed alarmingly when people walked on it. It no longers sways much - but it's still moves a bit, particularly noticeable when taking photos.

Kept in a photo album is a lock of hair from Pearl Sturgis.
Pearl Sturgis was born February 7th 1910 to Elijah J Sturgis (1869-1951) and Sallie Nora Oliphant (1874-1918). They lived in the Leonard Pond area, north Salisbury, Maryland. She would die in 1920.
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.
