08/26/2012 Bikes locked to the rail at the Brighton Beach boardwalk. Kodak Ektar 100. Konica FC-1. Konica Hexanon 50mm 1:1.4.
This lock was attached to the side of a building, but it wasn't locking anything. It was just locked to a bracket that was screwed to a wall.
I got locked outside of my house this day. Had to wait for three hours for someone to come home. I had to pee so bad.
Locked out. Michael Lee (Certified and Licensed BC Locksmith) from Vancouver picked the lock, no damage to lock or door.
Behind a light where all is cold, the curtain is worn of time.
Outside, human being gets locked in, with color of life.
Time remains obstinately silent, and thoughts always so brief.

Built in 1925, this was one of around 50 dams that ran along the Ohio. They were designed and ran by the government.
The Foișor Church is located at 119 Foișorului Street in Bucharest, Romania.
It is dedicated to the Nativity of Mary.
Situated on a hillock, the church was founded by Smaranda, the third wife of Prince Nicholas Mavrocordatos, as a chapel for her houses.
The pisanie is from November 1745, marking the date of completion.
The princely houses offered a fine view of the Dâmbovița River.
They were linked to the Văcărești Monastery over the swampy ground in between by a wooden bridge provided with a turret or foișor.
This foisor gave rise to the name of the district and church.
The church and houses were placed under the authority of Radu Vodă Monastery, which owned the area.
Ban Mihail Cantacuzino mentioned the church as possessing an inn, namely the houses.
By 1813, the building was in ruins and needed repairs, carried out in 1849.
The iconostasis of the church was damaged by the 1838 earthquake.
Until 1880, the open portico served as a church school for the children of parishioners; a church singer would teach pupils to read the Horologion and the psalter.
In 1888-1889, the portico was enclosed with glass and the windows enlarged.
An ambon was installed and the old frescoes covered in oil paintings by Gheorghe Tattarescu.
A lead roof was added in 1914-1915, while an altar entrance room was added to the southeast.
Serving as a vestry and, in the basement, as a deposit for liturgical items, the small area is decorated similarly to the facade.
The interior, maintaining much of its original appearance, is in contrast with the exterior, modified during the 19th century.
In the 1980s, when the neighborhood underwent systematization, the architect in charge deliberately omitted the church from the plans he presented to dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, in order to protect it from demolition.
The cross-shaped Foisor church measures 20.3 meters long by 8.7 meters wide, with an ample dome above the nave and a bell tower above the narthex.
The octagonal domes sit on square bases; their windows fit into recessed semicircular arches.
The narthex and portico area is significantly broader than the nave.
There is a cornice between the side apses and the narthex, beneath the joint roof.
The portico features three frontal three-lobed arches; the pediment above ends in a cross.
The portal leading to the narthex has a Brâncovenesc frame with floral motifs.
The pisanie sits above, displaying the Wallachian coat of arms.
The door, from 1757, has a special lock, signed by its maker, the carpenter Andrei.
The facades are divided into two sections of unequal size, separated by a simple string course.
On the lower side, there is a series of arched frames resting on simple columns; the windows, ending in arches, are between these.
The upper part is narrow.
On the west and north sides, there are medallions, once painted; on the south, horizontal fluting in the masonry and tracery carved in stone.
The portico has a vaulted ceiling and consolidated arches.
The narthex ceiling, typical for the 18th century, is also vaulted, ending in pendentives and wide lateral arches.
Portico and narthex are separated by a wall with three three-lobed arches held up by stone columns with slightly twisted double fluting.
The capitals, bases and two supports of the columns, decorated with flowers in relief, are characteristic of the Mavrocordatos era.
The columns on the side walls are worked simply in masonry.
The main dome rises above the austere nave, held up by arches and pendentives.
The 18th-century masonry iconostasis has door frames with accolades.
The bishop’s throne to the right and the side seats are finely carved in wood.
The ktetors’ portraits are on the right side of the narthex.
The churchyard is entered beneath a belfry built later.
Fragments of the old houses, built using narrow bricks, survive.
There are two old stone crosses inscribed in Romanian Cyrillic.
The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
What can't you learn online?
I made a few different types of lock picks out of broken hacksaw blades. Watch out Ft. Knox.
And the distance award for the weekend was awarded to the Englishman who rode his R100CS from Brooklyn.
He was awarded a small Hampshire piglet for his efforts. That should make for a fun ride back home. Haha!
I found it odd that New Yorkers feel the need to lock their license plates to their vehicles.
Camden Town, London
We did a photo walk of Camden Town while in London. Some of the locks along the Regent Canal require the users to do the work. Hawley Lock on the Regent Canal is one such lock. The canal is 13.8 kilometres (8.6 miles) long.
Andrei Botnaru was the photographer who lead our walk. (www.flickr.com/photos/andreibotnaru/).

Fricks Lock is this town that is now abandoned. From what I know, there was a lock there. Now a power company owns all the land and the town is all boarded up. There are lots of No Tresspassing signs up all over and signs indicating that the place has cameras all over, so we didn't go in. We have since found out you can get a permit to enter.
This is what we could see from the gate.
