Three Muses--Lock and Key

 I found out about this tradition from Abby's blog http://thevivere.blogspot.com/--a Russian tradition called LOCKS FOR LOVE. Here, bridges, fences and sometimes trees are covered with different padlocks...heart shaped, house shaped as well as normal shapes. When a couple marries, they close their lock in one of these spots and throw the key away, symbolic of making their love untouchable as well as irreversible... LOVELY!!


The fence is my photo, much altered, the rest is googled.
