Description
DECLARATIONS OF LOVE is a digital photograph of padlocks of love by Carla Parris.
In Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, which was part of the former Yugoslavia, there is a footbridge crossing the river Ljubljanica. Almost immediately after its opening in July 2010, padlocks started appearing on the bridge's steel wires.
This practice of affixing personalized padlocks to public structures, and throwing away the key, is now a popular worldwide tradition for couples wanting to make a symbolic declaration of eternal love.

Thanks for your note, Erika. We spent one very lovely day in Slovenia. We did a boat ride in Ljubljana, ate local food at a restaurant there, wandered the streets of that lovely town (loved its old world feel and beautiful architecture and inviting outdoor cafes by the river), enjoyed the outdoor market, bought fleur de sel (who knew Slovenia produces the 2nd best in the world?? - after Santorini), and took lots of photos! We could have used another couple of days there... Perhaps we will have the opportunity to visit again sometime!
