The next image that I would like to talk about is the lock with the brown background. This picture as a Muslim boy who dreams of going to a pilgrimage in Mecca ( Saudi Arabia ) automatically took me there. The lock reminds me of the lock they use to lock the Kaaba. I have included a picture of the lock of the Kaaba as you can see the brown part in the image you have provided reminded me of the sands in Arab. The lock reminded me of the Kaaba lock.

This image reminds me of some poor areas in China , especially around Shanxi province where we know as Huang Tu Gao Po (mountain areas of yellow earth). In those areas, people are living a miserable life. They are very poor. They do not have apartments to live as we do. Their houses are made of clay instead of bricks and cement. However, in those poor areas, the public security is quite good and the people are very friendly and warm-hearted. But in cities, the people become colder and colder.

The Fifth image with locked door makes me down :( I'm afraid to imagine that there is someone locked behind that door or even worse: it's an abandoned, neglected old house. And it's seems that there is no one around to come and open that locked door. I wish I could open it!!!

This image reminds me of a prison, where people get locked up in bad place or bad situation. Because this image shows something that look rough and a place where people will get uncomfortable/discomfort to stay/live in.

May be someone is kidnapped and left behind this door. This image gives me some Mexican tastes. It looks like a small house in a country side of Mexico . It also looks scary to me when I first looked at it.

The picture shows a locked door. It looks like a pretty old and frightening place and gives me the feeling that somebody might be locked behind the door.

Seeing this image gives me feelings of being locked in an abandoned place. It gives me an imagination of being locked up in an old house, where I do not know what was happened to the house and the owner, and this gives me creeps. Another thing that comes in to my mind is that this image shows a situation or a place for prisoners, being looked up in place with bad ventilation. A great example for what I have imagined is the picture below, which I got it from the net.

This is a lock which chain hinge on the door. It gives people a lot of imagination in the mind. When we study or work --- we must find the --- way to do it. When we find the key and open the lock, maybe we find out a lot of good things which we need, so we have to work hard to realise our dream.

The door is locked. It means the heart is unopen. People may be shy or have hurt before. These people would not issue their opinion in the public areas. They are shy to talk with people. They are used to be alone.

This picture shows the sadness like some leave his/her house and go somewhere else due to any kind of war, problem of natural disaster like earthquake. He/she locked their house because they have little hope in their mind in that they will come back. After some time when everything become alright.

It is a picture of a metal chain with a padlock. The wooden door that is security locked behind it signifies that entrance is not permitted. The old wooden door tells that the place is of old or abandoned building. The worn wall on the left looks as if it is made of sand or clay. From this description, the building looks as if it is from the old age between, 1900 to 1930.

In this picture I am feeling here is very desolate, so long time is no body coming here to open lock and also the picture give me the feeling is very poor and I am feeling the desert. In the desolate desert, here a very old and poor little village, here is long time no body coming, the house is simple and crude.

This is a lock that seems like locked a lot of people in the self-made prison. Looks like rich guys they use it to protect their assets. A guy who made this lock to lock some kids are stolen then fed till they grow up and sell them.

Strange, but I feel hope in this photo, I wonder why?, I guess because it looks like this Lock is closing the past, it's not the future or the door to freedom, not at all, it's behind us, we just closed all our problems and we locked them and now we are taking the last look at the door and then we will turn and go forward, yes, this photo is nice, it makes me feel optimistic.

The thing lock inside is “monkey”, because the picture on the lock looks like monkey. So this is a monkey prison.

He shut me out of his world
With no warning
With no promise of return
No forgiveness
I am sorry for not seeing his worth
He tried to show me, I know
But I was too busy to see
So now I am shut out
Never to ‘see' him again
Even when there is rusts and cracks.
He will never let me back in
Anger engulfs me now
I hope he rots back there
Behind that locked door
Thank God for the many other men to see
I hope that when he is ready for me
He never finds the key

This picture gives me the feeling of a person has been locked inside the room, and lost his/her freedom; this lock seems very old, so maybe he/she been locked for a very long time.

A door locked with a padlock. That means some people are still in dark ages.

On the left hand side of this image you can see the rest of a termite hive. The termite hive is covering most of the wooden house which is in Queensland . By the way it is my house. I went on holidays to Germany and when I came back the termites had occupied the house; they had eaten nearly all parts of the house, especially the structural important bits such as beams and posts. I had to put a padlock with a chain at the door to keep people out. It is just too dangerous to be inside. I am a migrant and a migrant's dream is to have a house. Now it is gone to the termites. I learned that it is better to dream about immaterial things, such as love, friendship and happiness. The house was a brown colour, I do not like brown anyway so it is not too sad. Maybe the termites like brown. I am pretty sure they do, cause their hives are of brown colour.

There are some secrets inside the door; lock some people in a room; it appears old of age; it make me feel if I broken the lock, something will come out.

It brought out a sense of adventure...a walk into or a search for the unknown beyond the common borders. Some sense of thrill and curiousity can also be perceived due the dark outlines and the intricately placed padlock. It is the epitome of creativity.

It gets a beating from the strong wind
Constantly eating away the once beautiful mud that made
it be
The lock on the wooden door is powerful and the chain
seals it all
And the eye will see, that nobody is supposed to be here

This image reminds me when I visit my grand parent's home where they used to live 100 years ago because they used to live in houses made by mud and door made by wood similarly to the image. It's a great feeling when I see how they used to live in the past and my father used to explain the way they live and the different rooms in their house. The lock in the door reminds me when older people use it to have their things save.

Dans ce village fantôme de l'Arizona,
Balayé au gré des vents,
Des maisons il ne reste
Que ce mystère, cette porte bloquée qui recèle la clé,
D'un passé lointain et proche, d'une longue histoire,
Oubliée,
Fouettée, par les sables, élimée par l'oubli,
La fuite, la modernité.
Je renferme cette solitude, ce secret que plus personne ne veut connaître.

This image looks like one of those really ancient buildings on the street in less developed countries where I've seen on television. I pictured someone behind the cell in a lockup or freedom being confined to a boundary and I the image of keys to unlock the padlock came into mind. It's not a very inspiring picture nor is it a picture that I like to see because it gives me a little feeling of fear. The padlock shown was locked, where I would also interpret as a strong NO ENTRY message, No Trespassing on private properties.

Locked mystery
Kljucavnica, vrata, stena, prepoved, zaprtostKljucavnica nam ne dopušca odpreti vrat, ki nam zapirajo pogled pred tem, kar se dogaja na drugi strani stene. Vrata, stena in kljucavnica delujejo nekoliko obrabljeno, staro. Skrivnost, ki se skriva na drugi strani, je lahko tam zaprta že dolgo casa. Lahko, da je nekdo pozabil nanjo, lahko, da noce, da vidimo kaj je skrito na drugi strani in skriva nekaj, cesar ne bi smel. V dandanašnjem casu se na svetu dogaja veliko korupcije, ne samo s strani “psihopatov”, ampak tudi s strani medijev, politike, oblasti, ki nas vodi, ki pa se jo na žalost, ne bo dalo tako hitro popraviti. Za vsako spremembo je potreben cas, tudi za takšno, ceprav žalostno, da sploh obstaja.
Coruption, a mystery hidden behind the door, which is not meant to be seen …

Letters of TL are acronym of the Turkish money currency which is expanded as Turkish Lirasi. Because of image shows the door on background of clevis, it gives a idea that if you put the coin of Turkish lirasi in clevis door would open.

There is a lock which seems like very strong but times ago. And there may be some secrets or miracles / wonders hidden inside the locked door and wall. but after long or some times later the door is still locked as well may be strong but wall is damaged. Or maybe door is not strong enough. There is nothing any eternal things in this world and we can't hide any for a long time. There may be some secrets or wonders or some hidden stories but some time it will be opened and the lock and covers will vanish. Here we can see two locks, may be first one is dead therefore the second one is being used. On the other hand there is inside very important thing which has to be protected from the outside. As a result of the thing inside the two locks may be used.
