Locks

[Wavelength]

Here you are... I had hoped to capture a fantasy image of a lock soaring through the air, and while indeed these are soaring through the air they simply look like they are floating....


To soar like a bird unlock your fears and allow your dreams to fly...



Indeed everything is beautiful when lit by the warmth of the suns golden rays...

Chris, thank you so much;it is as if you have locked up darkness with your locks
Really great

Nandakumar, I thought about you and your lock quest the weekend before last while I was at one of our local resell events. (Canton Trade Days) to be exact.

Anyway, I didn't have my camera but now I can't look at a lock without wanting my camera with me. This shot is from a cell phone and the locks are all vintage, and expensive. The seller was wanting in the neighborhood of $50-$80 for each of these. I got the picture for free but oh how I want some vintage old locks to shoot now! Thanks for the new venture!

Wow; that is really great David; so much of locks at one go.... i never thought these can bring so much money for one

Regards

It was a good exercise for me to try. "Locked up darkness" - Beautifully said. I'm going to change my inane says to yours.

I can't believe old locks can cost a lot of money to buy for collection purposes. These are great...

This is the one I was looking for -- the shot of locks in Paris. Well...it must be in one of my disk. I have almost the same shot,
Gerry, maybe not as good as this one you have...as it was a long time ago...in the early 2006.

It was originally started as a way to show your love for someone. The ''Pont des Arts'' was the first bridge to have them appear, but after many years and 10,000's of paddlocks the bridge was collapsing under all the extra weight and the local council had them all removed. But, they have been replaced my more and now also appear on some other bridges too, showing that love is stronger than politics

Gerry; nice story behind. thank you very much

On most of your photos I've wished that you would have got closer and caught the intricacies of the worn locks and doors, but this one is really interesting with the contrasting blue color and red hue of the hardware. One of my favorites.
