A bicycle is born free but everywhere is in chains...

With apologies to Jean Jacques Rousseau. Anyway this bicycle appears to have escaped.

Love the rust and heaviness of the lock and chain... it's all pretty against the green.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Lovely focus. You can't go wrong with rust. :)

[Peggy Sirk]

I hope the escapee is enjoying it's freedom. :) This shot is wonderful ~ love the focus and the simple composition of rusty lock and chain.

[Hazel]

Stark, simple and stylish shot!

Like Amy said - I can "feel" the heaviness of the lock and chains. Wonderful tones and love that green bkgd.

Always love a bit of rust! And the contrast with the green is indeed striking.

Rousseau!! I thought it was John Barry who composed Born Free ...free as a bicycle... Shows how much I know ;-)

Has a sort of Amnesty International feel about it.

Great texture - I'm a bit of a padlock fan actually.
