Description
Thousands of "love locks" found on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. Also found on bridges throughout the world, these symbols of romantic devotion frequently carry engraved or marker inscriptions with messages of love and the keys are customarily thrown in the river (the East River in this case). Shot taken at mid-span from the wooden pedestrian walkway.

This is as lovely in person as I suspected it would be. Brooklyn Bridge Love Locks makes my heart happy.

Beautiful piece - congratulations!! I always wonder if the bridge can withstand the extra weight of all of these locks permanently?
Garrett Nyland replied:
Thanks, Helen! I wondered about that too...apparently highway engineers calculate the added loads and occasionally send out crews with bolt cutters to lighten the loads. How unromantic is that, right? BTW, I love your figure drawings!
