LJUBLJANA (4) – LOVE LOCKS

Please view large if you have time.
20th August. Seems that the craze for couples to lock a padlock on some railings as a sign of their love for each other has been taken up everywhere. I saw all these padlocks locked on the railing of Butcher’s Bridge in Ljubljana and liked their reflection on the wet ground.
Tomorrow: Jeff and Nick – On the run.
Thank you very much for looking and for your wonderful comments on yesterday’s picture.

Great shot Dione, it seems to be a European custom, lots in Paris & Rome. There are a few in Sydney, cannot remember where, and I think there were signs that they had to be removed.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Interesting shot and custom. I don't know if it's made its way over here yet but I expect it will.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I remember seeing this fad in a shot from a fellow in Italy. It's an interesting way to symbolize your commitment but I don't think the city is happy about it. Still, makes for a good shot!

[Harry J Benson]

interesting custom, nicely presented

[Paula W]

My daughter photographed them in Amsterdam too earlier this year, very interesting concept, I wonder where it originated. No doubt in a film.
