Rarely has a locked door looked so inviting. Village of Rousillon in the Luberon, southern France. Rousillon is a hilltop village in an area famed for its ochre mines. Everything is red and at times like Colorado, or even rather Martian! Having climbed to the top of the village this door with its striking blues caught my eye all the more.
I'm getting used to processing RAW files and I'm trying new techniques all the times. Sometimes it's really frustrating to not being able to achieve what you have in mind and sometimes you have good surprises. This was one of them: lowered the saturation to almost 0 and played with the white balance and tone to get a sort of bw/sepia mix. I think it kind of suit the subject quite well.
a view from the river Schelde towards the Berendrecht lock. A number of inland waterways vessels are sailing out as the giant container vessel MSC Rosa M is preparing to start its voyage to the Far East.
The Berendrecht lock is the largest lock in the World. It measures 500m in length by 68m in width with a depth of 13.58 meters. It gives acces for large ocean vessels from the River Schelde to the port of Antwerp on the right bank of the River.
Up to its opening in 1989, the adjacent Zandvliet lock held the title of biggest lock in the World. It has the same length but a width of ‘only’ 50m. In 2016 even the Berendrecht lock will lose the title to the Deurganck lock which is now being built on the left bank of the River Schelde. The new lock will have the same width and length but a depth of 17,80m.

I guess it's a lock of love. We haven't had this tradition in Finland before, but these locks have been seen on tv just recently.
"Locks of love are the padlocks fixed by loving couples, on to a fence or a pole or metallic chain/string alongside some wall etc at a public place, to symbolize their eternal love. A couple would hang a padlock after inscribing their name or initials on it and throw the key away so that their love is locked forever." - Locks of love around the world
