How many locks does it take?
Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 12 May 2009 in Miscellaneous.
My shot for silly tuesday. Taken at wesport on the west coast of SI. I wasn't sure if these were there for a purpose or if someone was taking the mickey
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Did you remember the key, any key? I guess this is one way to enable a "master key" - everyone has one for themselves, and they just find the right lock to unlock. A great photo.

@Bill Jennings: hehehe just imagine if they had them hidden under nearby rocks

Super find - problem is the rusted ones don't open any more, so you just have to add new locks!

someone must really want to keep people out -- or in!!! you would think that nowadays they could invest in an electric fence or some other contraption!! :P great find!

@dj.tigersprout: you could just walk around the end of the fence so it wasn't at all effective

the locks are a real deterrent - god knows you could never cut through that super heavy gauge chain link!

Was it to keep you out or something in? Slightly worrying if they are trying to keep something 'in'.!!!
Lovely shot, well taken and wonderfully silly!

A great find Debbie. A silly shot for sure.

P.S. Usually there are several locks like this because several companies need access to the site. This is their way of ensuring their employee can gain access. Thay have their own lock that way. It's still a silly shot though. Hope you had a great day.

@Lee: thanks for that Lee I didn't know that. would never have thought of that

Yea, ST. (There is a song in there; "You Are Locked Out of My Life Forever"; "You'll never again walk right in and break my heart!" Country Western, of course!)

@Calusarus: only thing on the other side was a light house which you could easily get to by walking around the end of the fence

What a crazy arrangement . . Lee had me wondering if his solution could possibly be so . . !

What a great eye you have!!! That's hilarious. Maybe the locks were cheaper than buying more chain links?

I suppose it takes a wee bit longer to break in if there are a dozen locks. My problem would be keeping track of all those keys!!! Great shot, Debbie!
