The perfect place to watch the sun go down .... I believe every now-and-again these locks are cut off and disposed of ....... I've never seen it anything but jam-pack full. Youve captured lovely soft lighting on Pont Neuf.
Jeff, I think I might have told you that I have many of Didier's prints. He's a most persausive French painter! HA I usually see him at Place des Vosges or the arts fair at Bastille.
It is photogenic, that is for sure. At least until all the weight of love collapses the bridge. There is probably some meaning there, but I can't figure it out.
I love the perspective in this photo, the sort of echo you've created. Someone, an American in Blogland recently sharply criticized the custom of the locks. So they do get removed periodically & then the fence gets filled again...is that bad? I don't know, but I love that people keep getting to have this sweet experience & feel part of a tradition...

ReplyDeleteYouve captured lovely soft lighting on Pont Neuf.
"All Things French"
Si cela continue, le pont des arts va s'écrouler sous le poids des cadenas.
ReplyDeleteIl demeure un bon souvenir pour moi... Merci pour ce joli cliché.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photograph this is. Such a wonderful composition.
ReplyDeleteEven in the cold I would still like to be there.
ReplyDeleteI like this photo because it makes le Pont des Arts look like it's sinking into the Seine from the weight of all the locks.
ReplyDeleteIt really does, Starman! Don't think I've ever seen it with so many locks at once. Great composition, V!
ReplyDeleteA sweet, lovely sigh. Beautiful image.

ReplyDeleteInteresting juxtaposition!
ReplyDeleteI love this bridge :)
