New, rusting, some engraved, some simply scrawled with the word 'FOREVER', I could have spent hours here, reading the vows inscribed on the thousands of padlocks that line the Pont de l’Archeveche- a bridge over the Siene widely known as the love lock bridge. I love the idea that something as mundane as a small brass padlock is now represented as loves greatest metaphor. I feel as though only the parisians could transform such a simple gesture into some poetic act of romance.
