Description
A pristine padlock coupled with an eroding hasp, captured 9/19/13, early AM, at the front fence of the four silos previously shown.
Incidentally, I phoned and checked on the contents of the silos, and was told it was either lubricating or diesel oil. The individual on the other end did not enunciate clearly, so that's where it stands. One small sign out front did mention there were possible cancer causing agents in the contents.
Sayonara.

Great reference shot!
Fortunately there is a new padlock on!!! Great shot!!!!!!!!!
Nice work on this very cool capture, Harry.
Practically pristine, Harry; I only see one scratch mark, and the loop part is sparkling. I'm guessing this one is nearly new. Great POV, capturing not only the lovely lock but the wall beyond, which seems to have some sort of screening material on it. Excellent work!
That's a smart one!
Brilliant shot my friend!!!Bravissimo!V:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
Wonderful contrast nicely spotted
cool
Cancer causing agents? Take the picture and get out of there.
I saw this before, but forgot that you revealed the contents of the silo. Since they contain carcinogenic materials, that would explain all the warnings. Anyway, re this piece, it's an image of stark contrasts, and your work with it (camera and/or postwork) clarifies it well. A strikingly unused padlock, and so unusual compared to the usual padlock shots you get, where the padlocks show age and wear so vividly. My guess is that this was a replacement for an older one, as the hasp and wall show age while the padlock doesn't. Nice clarity on the decay too: It's vivid in your capture. And, as Denise suggests, you made a nice choice to include the wall beyond it---to the screen (or whatever that is). There's even fascinating stuff on the right---the lower corner; like a miniature air conditioning grill. And the sign below...Another semi-minimalist image from you, with lots of activity throughout. Nicely and clearly presented. You know, I see padlocks because of you, now. But I've yet to photograph them: The few times I did, they turned out boring. Which goes to show that it's not just the object, it's the eye that presents the object that counts. With yours to look at, I can enjoy yours instead, which is fine with me. When one shoots these, they realize how hard it is to capture the 'life' in them. It's one of the reasons I so appreciate this series.
