Description
Captured 12/4/12, early AM, at one of my favorite parks within striding distance of my daunting domicile.
Say, that looks like congealed blood on those locks...maybe someone trapped behind that gate was trying to rip them apart with their bare hands - apparently they didn't succeed....eeeeeyew!
Yuck revisited. I didn't touch it for a variety of reasons.
ZOOM, that is, if you dare.
Cheerio, and have a nice day.

Very nice work on this cool capture Harry
That is some interesting goo on that lock...I guess speculation as to the source of it is better left alone. But it makes a great capture, this dual-locked chain link fence. Well done, Harry! BTW, I post a photo each day on my lab door, and yesterday's post was a lock and chain on a fence taken on England trip; my boss's comment was "I see you put a new lock on your door". Master of understatement, that man...
I rarely touch anything I photograph. It would fly away, get broken or have me arrested. There are exceptions of course, like the scent bottles!
I imagine you could do a whole book with the many lock photos you have, Harry.
Small tap and that one looks like it would break off! Rob
I'm only doing a few images this dawn (I'll continue later in the day), so I'm not leaving out other subjects. But I had to do some padlocks, and the goop in this one makes it a special treat, as well as one more of your sweeping overhead compositions. I.e., where you capture the lowly padlock with operatic swoop and bulge. These overhead shots of yours: You really get the drama in these lock-and-chains, from the swoop of the chain to the angles of the steel posts...it's another 'action shot'---meant as a compliment---of a single lock and chain, with motion, depth, fun, and yuck, and all of it. I agree with morningglory about a book from all your padlock shots. And wonderful detail on the cracked chain, and even the rubbed off name-plate on the lock (if that's in fact what it is). You are the master of this, and you bring them to life every single time.
