I thought this was a cool picture. My ex-Girlfriend attempting to break into a locked room when we were still together.
Lock 13 at Marple proved to be the very devil of a job to clear of mud when the Peak Forest Canal Society set about it with barrow hoist and men with shovels. Each time we started work something would break. The pump would stop working or the hoist failed, or some other disaster would befall the job. Instead of a weekend it took several weeks before it was finally emptied of that black mud. This photo was taken at the beginning of the Lock 13 saga in September 1972.
Built in 1938, this dam on the Upper Mississippi River holds back the widest part of the river, with a reservoir of over 192,000 acres.
Some of the 8 million or so padlocks in the vicinity of the Ponte Vecchio. Supposedly, if you and a lover lock a padlock on the bridge and toss the key in the river, your love will last forever.
Two points:
* What's good for love is, as usual, not so good for fish.
* Whatever lockmaker dreamed this legend up must have made a killing.
This Kryptonite lock gave good service It is at least 8 years old. This failed by fatigue. A brute force attack against this lock breaks the inner pegged part. So I recommend buying the lighter cable version.
For Comp Corner- under lock & key...
My first thoughts for this image were similar to certain other mucky-minded perverts in the group :-) But being unable to get my hands on and think of a 'nice' way to present a Chastity belt I found this Garter with the handcuffs and made do!
The original garter is Ivory but the shot works much better in Mono. It took me a long time to get the tone right here and don't talk to me about the 'Greys'... I went through 50 of 'em to get this particular shade! ;-))
I was recently wandering the museums at the Tower of London and some of the chastity belts there were horrific! No amount of prettifying would have made a decent image! :-)) None the less it was something our Knights of Old were keen to keep safely under Lock and Key!
