Lock your love

    Newer Older

    Love padlocks in Ljubljana started to appear in the early July 2010 on the newly constructed Butcher Bridge.

    from wikipedia:
    Love padlocks are a custom by which sweethearts affix padlocks to a fence or similar public fixture to symbolize their love. Most common place of Love padlocks are railings of the bridges. It is suggested that the custom of 'locking a padlock and throwing away the key' probably originated in China

      I wonder how much extra weight such a bridge could carry. These locks aren't particularly light...

      Great shot Karmen!
      This custom seems to be all over the world, except I've never seen it in North America... my shot is from Italy on the Via dell'Amore in the Cinque Terre.
