Locks on a Bridge

When we were in St. Petersburg I found these “locks” fastened to the ornamental railings of a bridge over one of the canals. When couples are married, they inscribe their names on a “lock” and fasten it to a structure as a symbol of their love towards each other.

A favorite pastime of mine is watching people and trying to understand their customs and way of life. People of all nations always have more in common than differences. This young couple was celebrating their marriage by visiting the highlights of Moscow near a future Olympic site.
