Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

© aNadventures

Having a walk by the Bosporus in Istanbul this fall, I came across this nice rusty padlock hanging out enjoying the view from its chain by the waterside. I was instantly intrigued by it and had to take its picture. For how long has this padlock been here?  Who placed it here? Why here and not anywhere else? Is it a love story? A mystery? Or just the remainders of a locked bike that was stolen? Will it stay here forever? Will other padlocks join it?

This padlock has something special to it. Something unexpected.
