Valentines: Lock Heart

Published:

Description

My submission for Valentines this year, even though I took this photo last February, I thought they would make a lovely valentines photo, but it had past. So here it is for this year ^__^

These photo's were taken in Paris, on the Pont des Arts near the Louvre. There is a lovely tradition where lovers take a lock and attatch it to the bridge, sealing their love inside it. They throw the key into the river below so their love will never be undone. Its such a lovely idea. Such a strong symbol of affection and devotion.

Sadly I think all of these locks were removed a few months after I took this. Apparently they were an eyesore. I was rather outraged by the idea of them being removed.

There were so many, but I especially liked the ones which were customised with hearts.

When I was in Portsmouth, NH recently I saw these this very thing on a fence at the water's edge of Prescott Park. I knew I had seen something like this before. Now I remember thanks to this.
