Symbol of Enduring Love

Love padlocks on Pont de l’Archevêché, Paris

Ironically, these tokens of lasting love endanger the endurance of the bridge itself.

🙂 I have a padlock and a photo from the same bridge, but not for this theme. They remove it after a while to make room for more padlocks.

These locks seem to be everywhere…one day all the bridges will collapse under the heavy weight! But I like the shot you took of them!

  In Moscow, they have put up a couple of metal tress that people can attach their locks to. As far as i know it’s working and the bridges can rest easy!
