I found this rusty lock on a chain that was wrapped around an elder tree at Parvin State Park. I don't know why the chain was around the tree.
South African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) named "Roketi" now in training to be an Animal Ambassador at the San Diego Zoo. This 6 month old cub came from a litter of six at a zoo in Texas where she was not competing well with her 5 bigger brothers. Conservation status: vulnerable
We seem to find a lot of locked things in our travels out and about. This particular lock was on a utility type building at a community center where we ate our lunch. It was Sunday and all the buildings were locked but there were a couple of nice pavilions where the breeze cooled us a bit as we ate. Today we are headed out once more to see what we can see and hopefully some locks will be missing so we can peek inside! LOL
I picked my favorite bag (handmade in Crete) for this weeks Macro theme. It has an imperfection on the lock button.

A vintage Awan lock and key. These were apparently used in maritime operations, but other than that, I do not know much about this lock. Taken with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm 3.5 on an extension tube.

Left on a bridge in downtown Copenhagen. It surely contains the strongest and deepest feelings from two persons at that moment. Locked to represent the endurance and longevity of their love. I wish it fulfills this role. Good luck :-)

A lock is a device used for raising and lowering boats, ships and other watercraft between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways. The distinguishing feature of a lock is a fixed chamber in which the water level can be varied. (thanks Wiki)
Zoos have evolved over the years to make the life of an animal less and less traumatic, although it is still a prison for entertainment. Unlike those parks where the work to preserve species and recover those at risk of extinction seems to me to be an extremely important social and environmental job. Seeing that there are still zoos where you see that it is simply a prison makes me sad and angry, seeing the aggressive attitude of many animals in these zoos already gives you an idea of ​​the discomfort they feel there and in those conditions. I have mixed feelings, but I am clear that if they gave me the option to choose, I would release them all. I dedicate this series to all those animals that in one way or another live in a prison, or simply have their freedom stolen from them.
Los zoo durante años han evolucionado para que cada vez sea menos traumática la vida de un animal, aunque sigue siendo una cárcel para entretener. A diferencia de aquellos parques donde el trabajo para preservar especies y recuperar aquellas en riesgo de extinción me parece un trabajo social y ambiental sumamente importante. Ver que todavÃa existan zoo donde ves que simplemente es una cárcel me genera tristeza y rabia, ver la actitud agresiva de muchos animales en estos zoo ya te dan a entender el malestar que tienen estando allà y en esas condiciones. Tengo mis sentimientos encontrados, pero tengo claro que si me dan la opción a elegir, los soltarÃa a todos.. Esta serie se la dedico a todos aquellos animales que de una u otra manera viven en una cárcel, o simplemente les roban su libertad.
