On my weekly visit to Bedales School today I noticed that the scooter I photographed before Christmas was no longer locked to its tree beside the car park. However, the bicycle lock was still looped around the tree, looking rather unemployed, so I decided to use my macro lens to take a close up of it in the hope it might make an effective ’arty’ black and white image. One of my weirder shots, I know, but I think it works reasonably well!

TO MY FAVS...AWESOME AND B&W IS PERFECT HERE... CONGRATS HELEN ????? · 2012-01-19: 12:46

I think so, too! I like the way you can see the numbers on the lock so well; they stand out against everything else in the photo. lukesmom · 2012-01-19: 22:49

I love it slowpete · 2012-01-20: 08:02

Hahaha, this could be the bicycle lock of my bike. Tuesday was my first day of a new job challenge. From now on, the bike remains at home and I drive by car, every day I go to Brugge (22km away from my home). A great shot!! Ryana · 2012-01-22: 08:12
