New Yorkers have taken to putting padlocks onto the Brooklyn Bridge with notes of affection on them. Probably my favourite pic of my 2011 New York visit. Madison and Wojtek, you crazy kids. Hope you make it.

people have been doing this on the Seacliff bridge, south coast NSW for ages too.
Thanks, Pip. Better get myself over top Japan then and take some pics there as well.
I love the fact this couple went to the effort of carving their names into the padlock. That’s a lotta love!
Robert;
There are massive, MASSIVE structures in Japan covered in these groovy padlocks. In the mountains outside a few suburbs there are gigantic steel TV towers, security-coated in a thick steel mesh kind of like chicken wire.
It’s local high-school sweethearts’ tradition to climb up the hills, make out, and then write their names on a padlock and snap it into place. The walls are covered with them, all sizes, all shapes. It’s pretty impressive :-)
