| It used to be that only couples would leave a "lock of love" on a bridge (then throw the key in the river to seal the deal). The practice seems to have expanded: This family left a memory for the whole clan. The orange locks and pictures stood out . . . |
 |
| no small feat, considering how many thousands of locks there are lining both sides of the pont de l'Archevêché! [To see more ABC posts, go here.] |

| I've seen these in Italy and on the Pont des Arts in Paris. But I thought the rose was a nice touch on these locks up on the Brooklyn Bridge (where you need a strong arm to toss the key from the center of the bridge over the roadway and into the water). You can tell that the lock on the left wasn't put there by an American, since the date is written day/month/year. |

| My blogpal Virginia recently featured a "cadenas d'amour," locked onto one of the bridges over the Seine. And I've shown "lucchetti d'amore" in Italy. These locks of love are starting to accumulate on the Brooklyn Bridge too. This is the first one I've seen with rings attached (and this is the first picture I took with my new phone).
