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.
MSH "sway"
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.
Two males locking horns as part of female courtship. My favourite springbok activity was pronking though, which I didn’t get to photograph. Think about this animal jumping using all fours like a kangaroo! It was a sight to see.
Apparently Martin Nyrop, who designed the Copenhagen Town Hall, was into detail. Like the look of an ordinary cupboard lock in the library.

It's been hot as hell this past week. I'm hiding indoors to keep away from most of the heat, so now I feel cramped and locked up in my own house!

Reach, Engage and then Lock.
This one is about Lock. It is depicted as padlock,
It was a glorious day for a walk along the towpath of the Cheshire Rings Trent & Mersey Canal. Cool but dry and lots of breaks in the cloud cover as we move from Autumn towards Winter.

Dogwood week 12: Orange
A new shed was built in our back yard, equipped with slide latches where padlocks could be deployed. However the normal padlocks which we had on our old shed don't really work well with this type of latch. More likely these are just the cheapest and worst latches that the builder was able to find. Resulting doors that look locked at first sight, but with a bit of adjustment of the padlock can be opened easily without a key.
Longer story of why it took me over a month to shoot an image for week 12: renku.smugmug.com/2017Dogwood52/Week-12

It was used for the filming of 'Wolf Hall', a recent TV mini-series about the life of Thomas Cromwell, based on historical novels by Hilary Mantel
The lock in our front door has been sort of crappy and prone to sticking since the day we moved in; we've pretty much always used the back door only for the last couple years because we wanted to make sure not to get locked out of our own house.
Until today! Some drilling and some chiseling and some screwdrivering and some futzing and, blammo: a front door we can actually use to leave the house through.
The final lock on the Forth and Clyde canal, which connects the east and west of Scotland, from the river Forth to the river Clyde. There are 39 locks on the canal - so why is this Lock 40?
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.
The image of the venerated Patroness of the town has been known to be miraculous. Year- round, pilgrims from far and wide pay homage to the Lady in her shrine. Many come to supplicate special favors and then return to thank Her and fulfill their vows as devotees whose prayers have been answered.
A second matriarchal feast is celebrated in the last Sunday of January to celebrate the many miracles of the Virgen de la Asuncion of Dauis. Foremost of which happened on August 31, 1928. Accordingly, many young girls who were playing before the image of our lady seen her waving her hands as if bidding them to come near Her.
In several occasions, devotees found the vestment of the image full of “amorseco”. Many believed the lady must have gotten down from her pedestal occasionally to visit them in their homes and farms.
Devotees from as far as Dalaguete in Cebu province would often attend the virgin’s feast day every August 15th . It was from the Dalagueteños where stories of the lady’s sojourn and blessings were gathered. One of the stories tells of a man who possessed great healing to a “camiseta” he found in his fishing boat after a lady passenger whom he accommodated disembarked at Mariveles (former name of Dauis). Up to this time, Dalagueteños continued to venerate and pay homage to Our Lady of the Assumption as a manifestation of their gratitude and appreciation after being healed of their ailments through the “camiseta”.

HISTORY OF THE DEVOTION TO THE VIRGEN DE LA ASUNCION OF DAUIS, BOHOL
A tale has it that Dauis was once called "Mariveles", based on a story of the statue or image of Our Lady of the Assumption, the town’s patroness who was said to have requested an unnamed fisherman to take her to this island called “Mariveles” . When they neared the coast, the lady said, “duol na ang Mariveles” (We are nearing Mariveles).
She got off the boat and went toward the beach where the palms now abound in Poblacion, Dauis. The fisherman revealed that the lady passenger disappeared and in her place saw an object, the image of which evoked the likeness of his passenger. It has been said that the name of the place is derived from the word “Lawis” which means a “sand bar”. It may also come from the word “dawi” which means “a fish biting the bait of a fishing hook and line.”
Recorded history of Dauis began with the arrival of two Jesuit priests, Fr. Diego de Ayala and Fr. Joseph Gragorio. Since then, there was a succession of Jesuit missionaries until 1786, and were later replaced by the Augustinian Recollect fathers until 1888. Since then, Filipino priests have taken over.
The 18th century Dauis Church, dedicated to the “La Señora de la Asuncion” or Our Lady of the Assumption underwent so many changes starting from its inception when the first Spanish missionaries arrived in the town in 1697. The church was believed to be built of light materials.
The church was consecrated by Bishop Juan Gorordo of Cebu on August 23, 1923. 61 years after Fr. Saldana laid its cornerstone, a cross was installed over the pediment in the year 1924. The convent constructed in 1884 was eventually renovated and utilized as Formation and Day Care Centers.
The church of Our Lady of the Assumption is a center for Marian pilgrimages emanating from the different towns of Bohol. On certain occasions, the Tagbilaran faithful hike the distance from their city to the site to invoke special petitions or mainly to honor Our Lady of the Assumption.
A well, known for its water’s healing power, lies at the foot of the main altar. Local history tells that this well originated from the Spanish era. Pirates often attacked Christian settlements and it was during one such attack that the people took refuge behind locked doors of the church. Besieged by the enemy for days, the people run out of food and water. The well miraculously sprang up and since then has become the source of drinking water for the populace nearby, especially during droughts. The water tastes truly fresh, despite the well’s closeness to the seashore.
The image of the patron saint, Our Lady of the Assumption, is famed to be miraculous, too. (So many petitions of her devotees are granted!) Tales from time to time crop up that the patron saint’s attire is filled with amorsico, a vexing weed. The faithful believe that their Mother goes around Her domain as she watches over Her children. Dauis church is a pilgrimage site, with the pilgrims carrying empty containers to take home water from the miraculous well.
In 2004, the Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption was declared a Shrine honoring the patroness not only of Dauis but for the whole province of Bohol.
