The story I was told is that couples venture together to rocks like these and place a padlock there together to keep their love "locked" forever.

Found this rusty lock on backyard of our old house. Years has gone by, yet it is solid with "ghobare roozegar bar chehreh ash".
We went to visit the Te Apiti wind farm early before I had to catch a flight. Unfortunately the visitor area wasn't opened yet so we had to make do with taking photos from the gate.
Gezien vanaf de Petruskerk, de hoogste kerk in het centrum van Riga, uitkijkend op het oude stadscentrum met de Dom en het Slot van Riga en de rivier de Daugava. Wil je op een nog hoger platform van het uitzicht genieten, ga dan met een taxi naar de televisietoren. Of ga daar maar niet naartoe, het lijkt wel alsof je in een onbewoond gebied ergens diep in Rusland loopt, met een uitgestorven televisietoren waar ze alleen Lets en Russisch spreken. Geen aanrader, koop dus maar gewoon een kaartje voor de Petruskerk.

This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 58. Okay, I have to say this right off, this pains me to see what has happened to this lock-----that it is being used to store scrap metal. But , as they say, it is what it is, I guess. Anyhow, this was a single length double chamber lock built around 1841. The storage building/garage seems to be built into the south chamber. This particular view is looking west at the south chamber. The northern wall of the south chamber can be seen to the right of the building. It is currently the property of a scrap metal company. Back in canal days it was referred to as the Middle Lockville Lock. It is located approximately 1/2 mile east of Lock 59 in Newark, NY just north of Route 31 on Lyons Street.
This is my dads locked deer mount. He found the antlers locked together on his land around Desmet, SD. He had a taxidermist mount the deer heads like this.

this has a happy ending for the survivor!
Locked Horns
On November 6, a relative, Dona Viereck, called to tell us that she was driving to
Canton, South Dakota and had seen a buck in the distance with his head down.
It wasn't moving, and although she honked the car horn repeatedly,
he wouldn't raise his head.
She grabbed her binoculars and looked at him, and saw that the buck's horns were
entangled with those of another one, which was dead. So she called us and asked if
we wanted an adventure -- untangling the animals!
Well, we went, pronto!!! I took my camera and we walked right up to them.
They were tangled in an old fence line just east of a golf course, where some railroad tracks had been. The live buck was on the high side, and the dead buck on the slope. The other buck had been dead for 2 or 3 days, we estimated.
Terry attempted to break a point off the dead buck's rack with his pliers, but couldn't. He tried turning the dead buck's head but the other one just became more frightened and started backing up.
The live buck had the bigger rack - a 5 x 6. The dead buck was bigger bodied and looked to be an older deer. It had more "stickers" on its rack.
The now scared buck eventually got out of the fence, and out in the open.
Terry pulled an old post out of the fence line and used it to try and pry the racks
loose, but it didn't work.
We finally decided to go to a friend's house in order to borrow his chainsaw,
but then we thought something quieter would be better,
and so got a hacksaw instead.
Terry sawed the main beam on the dead buck and then other one was free!
The buck didn't realize this for probably 30 seconds or so.
When he did, he started striking the dead buck in the face repeatedly.
He finally raised his head a little, and then a little more.
He stood there with his head held high looking at both of us and we
wondered if he were going to try charging us too!
Then he turned and ran off rather wobbly.
He went a short distance, lay down briefly,
and then got up and took off in the direction of the Big Sioux River.
Terry and Sherry, thanks for the great story and photos,
and for setting the big guy free!
