I've been in most of the major cities of Europe. Although London is my favourite, Paris is the most beautiful. My wife and I put a lock with our names on it on a bridge near Notre Dame. I think it's a wonderful tradition. (They do the same at the Great Wall of China.) However I read that the locks are removed by the city every so often because their collective weight creates problems with the bridge. When we placed our lock, we were interviewed by a German TV crew that happened to be there, probably because we are an older couple (married more than 50 years at the time.)
Beautiful shots, perrelliphoto! I especially like the unusual treatment of the first two. Excellent!
Such a wonderful set of photos from the "City of Love". My favorite is the Eiffel tower at night.
Hi,
And once again, thank you for looking at my photos, glad you both enjoyed them.

Thank you for looking and for the China information.
The locks are no longer on the bridge{correct re the weight issue}, they are on an out cove of the bridge, so weight is not an issue.

I hate to hear the locks have been removed from the bridge William...they were so "Parisian"!
That must have been so very special to be interviewed by a TV crew while placing your lock in Paris. You can see the locks on bridges in Germany as well. I have heard the same about some of the locks being removed due to weight issues on the bridge structures.
