I saw a few locks on the pedestrian bridge from Southbank in Melbourne last year, and it is now loaded up with hundreds of them – I’m sure those two will attract company soon enough!
what a cool pic – so unique and a little bit of tension for me – like the double iron has the ornate beauty mixed with the other kind of fence – then the road below – the water (?) – and the locks of course – but it is really the kind of picture that conjures up some wondering (at least for me)
It’s so much fun to hear how closely your thoughts about these photos match my own ideas, Yvette. 🙂 The contrasts between the ornate fence, the natural water, gritty road and potential story behind the locks are what drew me over to this part of the park. 🙂
That is one beautiful railing – I do hope the love locks don’t take off. They caused the railings in Paris to collapse and now they are going to be replaced with a glass barrier 😦
We saw lots of love locks in Russia, but here in the States? Thanks for sharing.

You’re welcome, Rusha. 🙂 I’ve seen plenty of photos from other countries but the bridges around here are usually pretty clear…

I’ve ever seen this done in he States! This is such a beautiful railing, I’d hate to see it covered in locks, though!

I agree, D’Arcy! The railing is wonderful and I really hope the locks don’t multiply.

Only two locks? I hope there are more lovers than locks in your corner of the world. 🙂

The locks are definitely out numbered by lovers around here, Sylvia. 🙂

I’m kind of afraid of that, Sukie. I hope they don’t spread too far and pull down the railing!

I did read somewhere that a (presumably small!) bridge over the Seine fell down under the combined weight of hundreds of loving locks!:P

What a shame. 😦 I appreciate the sentiment behind the locks but the destruction of these beautiful sites makes me sad.

I’m with D’Arcy, it’s such an unusually lovely railing. I’d like to see the locks brighten a sad railing.

I’m glad you like it. 🙂 The railing is a pretty touch in a park filled with people in the middle of tough times and nowhere to live.
