Love Locks fence

Prescott, AZ

A beautiful assortment of locks featuring intials, whole names, dates -- coming in all shapes and colors; some vintage and others more modern-looking.

So much love in the world. And a thousand ways to express it.

I pray that all of these have a happy ending.

Woah, art be upon ye.

Finally got around to posting her. Her name is Love Lock. I don't know if you'll ever see her again .

(Paris, 10/21/11)

Many bridges/fences throughout Europe are covered with locks, but it all goes back to this bridge in Paris. They're called "love locks" because a couple attaches it to the bridge to ensure everlasting romance and throws the key into the river.

In theory, the locks will last forever, but the Italian government recently cut all the locks off of the Ponte Vecchio. Sources say it happened in a fit of jealousy cause Italy couldn't find a boyfriend. 

These particular locks struck me as exceptionally awesome.
