Love locks
Locks of love
Paris, June 2010
Keep your love under lock and key...especially in Paris.
On the Pont des Arts, the wooden pedestrian bridge that transports one across the Seine to the Louvre, a simple padlock represents love and devotion. Some plain, some engraved, strangely they seem an appropriate gesture in the city of love. Unfortunately, not all think so. There used to be thousands of locks on the bridge, but recently the vast majority disappeared. It seems the powers that be in Paris think they are an eye-sore. One can only conclude that these powers are the reason behind the disappearance. However, some locks remain, further testament to the devotion they represent. I wish that I would have had one with me to add to the collection.
