Love locks

In Cologne ( Germany ) it’s tradition:
when a young couple marries,
they place a lock with their names and date of marriage
along the bridge fence of the “Hohenzollernbrücke” and
throw the key over the railing -
representing everlasting love that cannot be broken,
thus preserving their love forever.

Thank you janress.
It's a very interesting place.
I have seen "love locks" the first time.
A remarkable habit.

If you try '100 Snapshots' may I suggest this for Forever?

Great slice-of-life picture, really nicely composed.
