beautiful! it's wonderful to have a work of art for even the simplest things in life. V

Reminds me of a line from Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein. I won't repeat it here out of a sense of decorum and respect for others. Hopefully, there are more than one or two who will remember the line. But I digress. You have captured a wonderful image of this ancient lock. Whatever possessed us as a culture to leave behind this form of craftsmanship in favor of doors that can be unlocked with little bits of brass that fit into equally tiny mechanisms? voted, favorite, promoted as Daily Favorite. Very well done and apologies for my ramble.

Thank you, Krista, for featuring "All Locked Up" in the Collectors Treasures group. Your support is much appreciated.

Beautiful capture Mary! f/v

Fantastic shot! I love the beautiful ornate details and craftmenship! I wish we could get back to creating things of beauty and longevity now adays instead of quick prefab junk of partical board. v.f
