Valentine's day

AATemplate 61 and 190
The bridge connects the Louvre to the Institut de France and is reserved for pedestrians. It is a fairly simple iron bridge and owes its fame to the thousands of love locks that were affixed to it.Typically the sweethearts' names or initials, and perhaps the date, are inscribed on the padlock, and its key is thrown away (often into the nearby river) to symbolize unbreakable love.Paris has started removing padlocks symbolically fastened to one of the French capital's main bridges by couples, after part of the Pont des Arts collapsed a few years ago...
I was thinking about this the other day! It is a unique landmark! Beautiful page and love the purple stripes!
 
Une belle ide de page pour la St Valentin, j'ai plusieurs photos de ce pont, et je n'y aurais pas pens.
 
I always find these locks intriguing--they were all over Barcelona! Beautiful photos, and I love the energy of the stripes.
 
adore everything! especially the story about the lock. also love that purple stripe too.
