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
Nandakumar, is this one lock too many.
The bridge of locks, Paris. Sorry about previous post, first time using a flickr link. :-D
Bridge of locks_2 by theegmeister, on Flickr
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.
This blue one is great Nandakumar
