Recently at a park in Kiev i noticed that hand rails on a walk bridge was laden with these locks, apparantly couples buy lock, paint their name, lock it on the rail and throw away the keys..:) sweet…
Millions of them, they obviously weigh on the bridge, so the local government has to cut them once in a while and cart them away…and that makes space for the new ones…
How do these trends start…can u consciously start something like this..In India i have seen trees around which people tie scarfs. clothes, then wells in which people throw coins..i have seen a temple in which passerbys leave bottles of Alcohol…
Have you seen…photographed these trends.. share them..

I’ve recently returned from a European trip that included 5 days in Vilnius, Lithuania. We (my girlfriend and I) encountered exactly the same thing on bridges in this lovely Baltic capital… I think it’s a beautiful gesture to “locked-in” commitment (something increasingly rare, it seems, in these frenetic times of constant change).
Best greetings from Canada,
