These Columbian Black-Tailed Deer from California were really going at it when I got this shot. They were right in the middle of the rutting season here in California. There's nothing more exciting for me than to see these magnificent bucks in the wild so up close and personal. photo was taken near the American River.
Blanchetown - home of Lock No. 1 and Riverland gateway. A Murray River township 135km north-east of Adelaide, and 275 kms from the Murray Mouth. In its hey-days Blanchetown was an important riverbank terminal where goods were offloaded from paddlesteamers to be cleared through the local Customs House. The town's prosperity suffered when the railway by-passed it in favour of upstream Morgan. Blanchetown was one of the first river settlements in South Australia. Surveyed in 1855, the town was named by Governor Sir Richard Graves McDonnell after his wife Lady Blanche McDonnell. It began life as a stopover point and watering place for mail contractors and coaches carrying passengers on the "Sydney Road" as it was then known.
The first of a series of seven locks on the Murray in South Australia (William Randell Lock in honour of the pioneer of river navigation in the 1800's) was completed in 1922.
The lock and keyhole on my grandmother's hat and shoe case. When she traveled by train she had 5 or 6 hats in the middle of this case, with at least 6 pairs of shoes in the pockets that line this round box. My mother kept knitting supplies in it, and now it is my office holding a sweater and similar things. I do not have the key.

Lock and chain on a red, blue and yellow painted metal wheelbarrow at Adelaide Central Market. I think it is locked to other equipment like the manual forklift under it.

The redundant Stanley Mills, Perthshire.
Stanley Mill was planned by Sir Richard Arkwright of Cromford fame - part of the first development of industrial labour and production. It was never the success (or the size) of New Lanark in Scotland, but it struggled on till the 1980s.
It is interesting to imagine those faces from the past trying to make sense of the world we now inhabit, where these mills are penthouse flats desired by wealthy commuters. To these people, commuting, if it had existed as a word, meant the cart from Bankfoot to Stanley.
If you are interested in Stanley Mills, the project for redevelopment (including a historic site cross-subsidised by the new apartments), you can go to this link:

A very good new site on flickr is the Economic and Social History Group - People and their Industry.
Grade II listed, this unusual round building is a lock up. It had 1 cell approximately 4m in diameter, with a door on one side. What makes it particularly unusual is the domed roof surmounted by a cupola with ball finial. It was built in 1819 by the Earl of Shrewsbury to act as a temporary prison.
I love Sarah Dessen. I just finished reading Lock and Key, and I actually think I can finally say which one I love the most. :)
I'm not happy with the photos. I'm still experimenting. So better pictures coming soon (hopefully). (:
Grove Lock and the Grove Lock pub on the Grand Union Canal near Leighton Buzzard. 16th November 2005.
looking towards the lock from the road. The lock gates at the east end are being replaced as part of the winter stoppage programme. Boats present include the "Wyre Lady" pleasure boat, cargo barges "Maureen Eva" and "Enterprise" and "Wharf II", Swinton" and "Rotherham"
When I’m out on a road trip, one of my musts is to send my daughters a postcard as soon as I enter a new state. I found this lovely locked mailbox in rural Phillipsburg, Missouri as I was looking for somewhere to mail postcards to my little girls. The actual lock is quite striking. Not your usual Masters lock.

So what do we have here? 1 Notebook, 2 hidden books, 3 hidden tetrapacks full of Vla (oh so tasty) and I have 1.5 hours to wait.
No problem I guess!
OurDailyChallenge "The Mail"
We don't have door to door delivery, so most folks in Stayner have a lock box where we can pick up our mail 24/7. This lobby is relatively new and all new boxes were installed during recent renovations. You can see the change in the floor where the lobby was extended.
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.
Some of the lock hardware found on Lock 48. At one time this and many other locks along the C&O Canal saw a ton of traffic. I can't imagine seeing this marvel of engineering back in it's heyday.
Lock Ridge Park, Alburtis Pa
In 1868 the Lock Ridge Iron Works was built. This mammoth blast furnace chewed through mountains of coal in its endeavor to push America into its industrial revolution.

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
