Sheer placidity in Trakai, Lithuania
And quite the opposite in Shanghai, China
Captured below are love locks I spotted when I visited Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. I was seeing this for the very first time & was fascinated. The story goes that couples have their names or initials engraved on these locks & throw the keys away. I’m given to understand this is very popular in Europe & America . Love locks symbolise a couples eternal love – I saw several of these & must confess I found this to be a really cute custom.
Here’s wishing all these couples a lifetime of happy togetherness! May they never have to go fishing for the keys!
This stream holds the keys to many a heart…
