Before moving to NY, seeing an old lock someplace random had no meaning. Now I stop and look for a date. Every. Time. #LoveLock #NoFilter #love #newyork #nyctourism #nycprimeshot #newyorker #NewYork_Instagram #allny #bigapple #newyorkcity #instanyc #instahub #instagramnyc #instafollow #instalife #followme #follow4follow #ilovenyc #manhattan #shotoftheday #photooftheday #makelovelocks #Brooklyn
Thanks to Instagram user @billcheek for the submission.
Date? Please explain
@livingsexuality during WW1, it was a tradition for a couple to get married before the soldier or sailor shipped off, to lock a padlock on a bridge and throw the key into the river. With time they would engrave their initials and the wedding date on the lock. They are called Love locks.
@livingsexuality click on #makelovelocks for some great examples.
