Stories

What are the stories behind these locks? I can guess at what some of the locks' stories are due to Seattle's drug problems. Hundreds of locks have been placed on a chain link fence on Alki Avenue. Enjoy your day.

A lovely find in spite of the rusy taking over ... I wonder what is the story behind these locks !!

Great find and so interesting looking and I think the rust adds to it.

A nice shot with some attractive rust on both locks and bridge!

I've been there too, so interesting. I've seen some with future wedding dates on them. The heart shaped one is unique.

Intriguing!

Wonderful capture of these rusty texturs and tones. They sure have stories to tell.

Quite a popular thing to do. We did it on a bridge in Paris.

Lovely capture

[Kerry McCarthy]

Nice shot and textures. I'll bet there are a lot of sad stories behind
the locks.

[Milanie]

Nice job capturing those textures

[Cathy]

Interesting. Sounds like many stories locked away.

great rust

[John]

Definitely stirs thoughts on a range of subjects!

[Margo Sayer]

Interesting to see these…never seen anything like that in France…more likely locks on farm gates etc. We're in the 'sticks' where everyone knows what belongs to whom.

Wonderful find and shot...

Great rusty textures. The heart shaped lock tells a story different to what you are implying, i think. A nice find and capture. Pity about drug issues - happening all over the world, i dare say.

Lovely composition. "Love locks" are becoming quite common here. I think it's a new take on throwing a coin a coin in the Trevi Fountain.
