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.
It's hard to believe 513 has been around for over 16 years. It was easy to overlook, but I generally tried to see it when the opportunity presented itself and I tried to do something different.
On May 28, 2026, I swapped vehicles with my wife on Arsenal Island and timed it with BICR's passing over the Government Bridge. This view is from the riverbank on the Arsenal next to the historical marker for the first bridge across the Mississippi River, looking down Lock 15 at the swing-span. Hopefully we'll be able to see 513 cross the River again in the future.
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
Another lith re-interpretation of an older negative. I love how this one turned out, very colorful and nice tones overall!
The paper used here was ancient Revue BS 13 RC stock that was completely fogged. I couldn't even make a test strip as it would simply turn 100% black in normal developer. I ended up eyeballing/guesstimating the exposure time instead.
The print has a slight texture of microscopic black dots all over it. You can hardly see it on this upload.
I like this print much better than the direct negative scan I uploaded to Flickr a while ago.

An out of use building in Loughrea, Co. Galway, that looks as though it's been locked up for some time.
This Monday for a change I thought I would post a nature shot

They locked horns and butted heads …hmm, sounds like politicians.
So today’s HBM stands for Happy Bison Monday!
Thought I'd try it in b&w..

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)
