Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. (Benjamin Franklin)
The front side of this lock is lit with sunlight. The back side is dark and contains shadows. The lock and chain is telling you not to enter there. Keep in the sunlight. Don't stray into the shadows. Don't anticipate problems, just stay out where trouble could happen.

This is what we could see from the gate.
